Learning English lessons for IELTS n TOEFL from your videos when I was way back in India to finally come in States and same city you are looking for your next home 🙈. Yeah it's hot here 🔥 but 3 months is fine, rest is gonna be heaven.

    I disagree with the agent, if the property is income producing it may be a good place to put your money in theory but the stock market you can cash out in a second. Also real estate prices agents always give the false hope prices will increase. An eviction and property damage can wipe away years of profit if dragged out like in NY. The main driver of income could be the potential increase in property value.

      @Jacob-and-Liubov 2 года назад

      Real estate has historically outperformed the S&P 500 on 20- and 30-year rolling periods.
      Eviction, property damage are the risks that the investor takes. Just like in any business. Depending on risk tolerance, investors would consider either high risk / high return or low risk / low return areas. Same rule applies to stocks: you can buy Coca Cola or Tesla. Two completely different strategies.
      Agents share the price projections based off what happened in the past. And even according to Google: ,,The average rate of appreciation in California came in at 6.77% annually over the 39 year time frame,,. It can vary from one county to another, but still. Real Estate is a great option for long-term investors who want to build generational wealth.

    I've recently looked at the relatively modest house I grew up in, located in Orange County 🍊 CA, it has a Zillow estimate over 1 million $ 😳. What the what 😵‍💫. Similar house here in Georgia (and prices here have risen quite a bit) is probably $250k. I don't know if we are headed for another housing bubble pop or not.....regional I suppose.

    We were looking at LA and Orange County as well. If you like Irvine, check out the other towns south of Irvine, like Laguna Niguel or Dana Point. You'll find that you can get more for your money than Irvine, and also have better weather, better views, and closer to the beach.

    In all honesty, I don’t think the California market will crash. Certainly prices have increased since pre-pandemic, but not at a rate that is out of proportion with US average appreciation over the past two years. I would predict that prices flatten for a few years and then resume appreciating at a rate of 3-5% annually per year.
    Also, if you decide to invest-I would strongly recommend that you buy a property that cash flows ONLY! I know, I know, it’s very hard to find a cash flowing property in California, especially the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Orange County. But, I don’t think that this will be impossible in a slowing market. The market is slowing now, which means that investors can identify sellers that are motivated to sell their home at a discount.
    I’m much poorer than you lol, but I’m currently looking for an owner-occupied investment property (a triplex) in San Benito County (south of Santa Clara county).

  • @bittersweetua

    • @ngadao1579

      Not exactly. Let’s say you buy 10 properties at 150k each and that’s such a LOW end that rent would be less than $1,000. And not in a nice neighborhood. Please tell me where you can find a nice home for $150k in a nice neighborhood where rent is more than $1000. If you bought a home for $1.5 million in California, at the rate of the markets, in a few years it would be worth 2 million. So a few years you can get $500,000 profit of selling versus positive cash flow for 10 or so years to make that much.

    • @bittersweetua
      @bittersweetua 2 года назад

      @@ngadao1579 there are plenty of homes in the Deep South, or states like Ohio, Indiana etc that you can buy for that money. Many people let them be rent out through section 8, where you can have your $1000 rent, sometimes even $1200(with the right amount of bedrooms). These homes also go up in price. You used to be able to find some of these homes for 60-80 thousand. Now it’s very very hard todo so.
      When you buy home in California, you are lucky if rent actually covers all your costs, many people have to still partially cover their mortgage, insurance,etc. That’s a negative cash flow. And when you see such a negative cash flow, I don’t know if prices in those areas will continue growing like that. So it’s really a gamble.
      My friend in Virginia bought her house for $100K few years ago, she fixed a few things, spent may be $40K-50K on the house and can now sell for 280K. Prices on cheaper homes all over the country rises too. You just need to do your research.

    Real estate is generally a good way to diversify your investments, yes, but that doesn't mean that there aren't good times to buy and bad times to get into the market.
    Right now the market is coming off an historic high so it would pay to be prudent and patient when it comes to deal-making. Housing supplies are growing and prices are coming down, so right now there isn't this urgency to get a property like we saw during the pandemic lockdowns when interest rates were at historic lows and inflation was just beginning to be a persistent problem.

With Zoom and Southwest Airlines (for when you must travel), as a young person that doesnt already own property, you are foolish to live in the valley or anywhere in CA. But guess you'd need to change your channel name.
