Nice and hot piss posted:East Oregon obviously has some semi reasonable places to buy, but as everyone mentioned It's CHUD land and you're out in the sticks away from everyone. Also you'll probably need to have a remote/WFH job since I highly doubt there is any form of "tech" jobs there minus what you'd see in gov't or hospital/public service sector... and I doubt that there's more than a handful of those jobs even in existance. My mom would laugh so hard if she knew yuppies techbro scumbags were moving to the towns out there she spent her whole young adult life trying to get the gently caress out of

I have just learned that mortgage rates are going back down a bit But only for jumbo loans So really you'd be an idiot to get a mortgage for less than a million dollars

anime was right posted:leveraging a loan against those assets is basically how all turbo rich people create cash Those aren't assets they're leveraging - its future income paid out as stock. Which means if the stock price goes down you take an automatic pay cut of that %, instantaneously. Now use this future income as the basis for a maxed out mortgage and a funny thing occurs

Bar Ran Dun posted:this is the crazy poo poo to me. the mortgages in Canada, Australia and parts of Europe are just brutal and the prices are still so high. The 30 year fixed rate, government-backed mortgage and the notional idea of everyone (well not Those People but everyone else) being able to a detached sfh on a cul de sac is one of those uniquely American fictions that everyone here seems to assume is a Normal Natural Thing but is actually a massive government welfare program

Paradoxish posted:Like the answer for how often a home should be updated is actually, literally, "never," at least if you're talking about middlemen who come in and do it for a profit. There's no reason for that ever to happen and it adds effectively zero value for the new buyers, who could have the exact updates and improvements they want for a fraction of the markup they're paying. The thing I find most irritating about the flipper aesthetic is the same thing I find irritating about new cars. They push materials choices (marble countertops vs shiny black plastic finishes) that look good once, for like a minute, just long enough to sell the product. Then they go completely to poo poo as soon as you use them in the real world. It's maddening that that's where the money goes.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:lol I just checked and my own neighborhood has a minimum lot size of 8000 square feet for new construction with almost all the properties on 3,000 square foot lots as built. sounds like a great fuckin' recipe for urban blight. My house is on a lot that is exactly 1/2 the minimum lot size of the zone it's sitting in right now. Same with basically every other house on this block and adjacent blocks. It's loving asinine.

bawfuls posted:What is their incentive to sell? Just want to point out that even for people who bought recently, being underwater is not going to be an incentive to sell in this market. That just means you are going to get absolutely hosed and never be able to get back on the ladder (or it'll take many, many years) if you bail out. If you can afford the payment and the upkeep, the incentives right now are all to dig in like a tick and figure out a way to make it work come hell or high water and those incentives are even more the case for folks who have no equity to cash out.
