Dave went from telling people not to panic buy houses, to now telling people in almost every video that it’s the best time to buy. I think he realizes how much it’s slowing down and has a little bit of stake in the game
You just repeated the same thing in your comment. I'm guessing you left some words out or poorly wrote what you're trying to say. "not to panic buy houses" , "it's the best time to buy" are both telling you to buy.
As much as I like listening to Dave, it’s important to know that up until late 2008 Dave vehemently denied that we would be going into a recession at all. He may be good at reducing debt but his track record with economic predictions is pretty bad.
Dave: I don’t hear an emergency hear for you. I do want you to buy in the next three years, but not in the next three months. This guy with the word “facts” in his name: Dave wants you to panic and buy something immediately because he’s selfish and wants your money.
Maybe he wants to keep his business a secret. What’s wrong with that? I think it’s a brilliant idea to keep your personal & financial info to yourself and not share it at all.
The only reason to buy right now is if you have the cash to do so. Dave keeps saying houses won't get cheaper. I think there will be a crash where they will be cheaper within 24 months. Until then pile cash, especially if you don't even have the 20% down...
Interesting opinion Josiah, I'm totally hooked. Do you anticipate the crash affecting different parts of the US in different amounts or all the country the same.
@@Videpedia101 yup and with the interest rates the way they are you are actually losing buying power. Seen a few sites do the math.

Don't buy the house before you marry especially if marriage is in your near term horizon. If you do then you will be selling it after getting married because she most likely will think it is the wrong house.
“Hey Dave, I wanted to call in to waste everyone’s time by asking a question I know the answer to and that you will agree with as well as score some brownie points over a phone call. Can you help me?” 🤦♂️
I’m pro buy a house with cash. He could buy a good multi family before first make some additional money plus the additional $250k from his business and then in a two year time frame buy his single family!
Nowadays if you have a home in a decent neighborhood in California you’re nearly a millionaire. Dave’s book is out of date. In Los Angeles you are a millionaire if you have a paid for house.

@@alexlewis8143 it wasn’t a “mistake” because without the debt part, he wouldn’t have the wealth he has today. Most successful business owners have to go into debt in the beginning to achieve financial success.
I don't see where this boy needs to be in any hurry at all as long as he doesn't allow himself to do anything stupid. Renting continues to be far more cheaper than buying (12-30-2024) and I hope that he continues renting.

Once he achieves 10 years worth of emergency money then start moving dollars into retirement type of accounts investing far more aggressively.
i have some questions, when dave asked what he did to earn that 500K$, the man shifted and changed the direction of the conversation without telling US what he does. what does he do to earn close to a million $ in less than a year?
Generally you need to be smart to make a +$300k salary. To make a business that makes +$300k you just need to be clever. You just need to understand how to make a customer happy in one or two ways. Lots of dumb people are clever about one or two things.
I would not buy a house now at all the inflation everything is going to go right back down prices will be lower next year also if you notice whenever Dave ask somebody about how they made their money so fast and and how they made so much when they're so young they never want to reply that's probably cuz there's drugs
Paid off primary home in nine years and paid cash for my second home. Money invested and already working for me since high school. Even continued saving,investing,and funding retirement through it all. I guess what you say may be good for people who never saved or invested until late 20s or older with a lot of debt..
@@minimalist_monk I purchased my house in cash. Also you save upfront cost paying with cash. My house was a new build and developers typically don't negotiate on new builds. I was able to get a 3% discount on a $300K house because the previous buyer fell through. Additionally, my closing costs were only $2K. If I financed it would have been closer to $10k.
