      Same with me. 20% (or 30%) - depending on where in the world you are located. I think its important that people allocate only a fraction of their net worth to real estate.

    • @keikofay9804

    1. Can you really afford it?
    2. Is it cheaper to rent or buy?
    3. Rent if you are still earning and learning
    4. Buy if you are stable and established
    5. Buy if you are an entrepreneur and not yet an investor
    6. Buy if you are financially successful

    • @p.d.9045
      @p.d.9045 5 лет назад +6

      It all depends upon the place where you have to buy ;
      If the place where you want to buy is low in real estate pricing
      then obviously individual may able buy instead of rent ;
      But if the place is high-end cities and real estate is costlier then it's is quiet diff to buy for an average individual;
      So you have to rent ;

    • @SlippyJimmy123
      @SlippyJimmy123 5 лет назад +6

      Contradictions between 5 and 6. If you are entrepreneur you should rent because money is what you need for your business not to invest in real estate, if you are an entrepreneur you are not established yet. In addition, the cost of opportunity is higher. On the other hand if you are a successful investor you may need low risk investments as real estate.

      Serves them right. I have told the exact same thing to a young co-worker who's trying to show off. He bought a house and his argument was "Did you know that you have to reach a certain income level to borrow money from the bank?" I was like, it's not about how much you earn, it's about how much you keep. His bank account is in the negative with all that interest, but he and his wife have rich parents. It's not relevant, but just thought to throw it out there.

    Only 3 ways buying is better:1.) You plan on paying off your mortgage.2.) You live in your house for 10+ years.3.) You pay for your house in cash.Your mortgage payment is basically worthless for the first 5-10 years. You may build up $20-30K in equity during that time, but that could all be erased if the market goes down and your home isn't worth as much. Interest and the cost of repairs, tax, insurance will kill your "investment" unless you're in it for the long run.

I'm still renting but it would be great to afford to buy. Fast forward and I'm now 25 and working as a Barista and photographer.

I'm renting at the moment and with the financial power I'm having I think I'm receiving much more values than buying. switching places, being at the new better locals & neighborhoods from time to time made me feel like I'm going up on the right path, and experiencing more, knowing more people and their needs of different areas from my city, therefore better crafting my products & services, better socializing skill.
    Guess i'll buy when i am 35, which is 3 years later. Thank you so much, your guidance strengthen my power of will.

U can live to any of your houses but a main home is far more different from your other houses becoz it provides you a sense of privacy and identity. You literally put all things into idiocity.

    Great advice on the 20% rule for personal residence. Your home is not an investment, but a place to live. It's wonderful to have a nice home, but if you keep it modest and within the reasonable percentage of net worth, it changes how you think. Most people who get homeowner fever go way overboard and their personal residence owns them! They can never invest and are always stressed! I can honestly say this from personal experience.
    Dan, thank you! I always learn something, and love to keep learning.

    If the cost of renting vs buying is the same (give or take) it seems it would make sense to buy because you're at least building equity, assuming you didn't buy the home at full price, right? I get it...if mortgage would be substantially higher than renting, then rent and use that extra money to invest in something else, right?

  • @thisisnotok2100
    @thisisnotok2100 5 лет назад +10

    In my situation, I will rent (until I save up enough to pay cash for my house.) If you finance, you end up paying the whole price of the house several times over in the length of the mortgage through interest, and if your AC goes out, it also comes out of your pocket. Those two factors together will keep me renting for a while.

      You shouldn't think of it like that. If you rent a place for 10 years. Those 10 years u have paid for rent is gone. If you lived in the house for 10 years. You sell it. You get back the money you paid for the mortgage and equity on top of that.

    This is guided towards Residential Real Estate only. Rent until you can buy outright. The amount of the interest is somewhat similar to renting. You didn’t really lose or gain much anyway, in most cases the appreciation is similar to the interest amount. To financially successful people, Real Estate is like to us our savings account.

    I rented for years when I was moving around for work. I wasn't living in any one area for more than a year or two at a time. So renting made sense.
    Now I've settled in one place I've bought a house. Again it makes sense for my current situation.
    The benefit to buying is getting the mortgage paid off by the time you retire. Who wants to be paying monthly rent in their retirement years??! It's far better to buy, pay the mortgage off and have that extra cash in retirement. Buying is an investment that pays off years down the line! Plus it's something to pass on to your kids.

      You never really own your home. You still have property taxes, home insurance and keeping up with maintenance. Buying a house is not an investment. You don't make money by buying a house.

      Lisa sweetness2014 with anything you have to pay your taxes. That’s just how it is with the government. From a long term perspective It’s cheaper than renting and beats living on the streets. Unless you build an off the grid house and hide it in the bushes so you don’t have to pay for the land you live on that would be cool OR you can live in a van. Lots of videos about that these days whichever tickles your fancy

    • @TheFabFoo
      @TheFabFoo 5 лет назад +1

      Leasing means your hit with interest over the period of time you're​ making payments on the car so I don't know where she got that from. Buying a new car is never a good idea if you can't afford it in cash. Car's lose value fast and don't gain equity. If you can't afford it in cash don't buy it!

    Number seven 777 :) If you want to buy property but rental income it gives you back all money only in 10 years or longer, DO NOT BUY. Only buy if rental gives you all your money in 5-9 years!
    If rental is lower, then is better to rent. Very simple mathematics, if property cost 300,000 USD/EUR/GBP rental should be 3000eur a month. Just take out two last numbers from the purchase price and you will get your monthly rental. If rental is lower than this number, then you should consider to rent only, or buy only if you are financially strong and it is your primary home. Greetings to Dan Lok!

      @joejitnarin7226 5 лет назад

      Are you suggesting that a rental property must return at least 10% ROI a year, cash? I suppose you don't factor in the maintenance, property taxes, and mortgage interest yet because the rent should be somewhere around 4,500 - 5,000 euros a month to make 10% ROI for you.
      You actually have to price your rent based on property appreciate percentage per year & the general rent similar units in the area is - otherwise your unit would be empty for a long long time.
