Or it does, just in the hood where you're gonna get shot and puppy will step on a hypodermic needle while out for a walk. Price of entry for a garage is now around 700-750 in a neighborhood that doesn't totally suck.

It's by scrooge choice because I can't really afford much of a step up from where we currently are.
wait for the dip, its coming
I hope you're right. It's looking like everything is working out for our house sale. She bought it at $120k in 2014, selling for $177k. IMO, it's not worth that, but pretty solid little profit.

But why not? They don't need a "home office," its temporary, and renting "room for guests" is for chumps.

Wife just sent me this:

https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/h ... _zm/0_mmm/

I'm like :bruh: :gtfo: I don't want to work on that shit. Buying one of the nicest and most expensive places in a town that's had maybe 1% annual appreciation over the past 20 years is fucking :fullretard:

5% mortgage interest plus 4% annual property taxes == :nope:

:dat:

I just ran the numbers for a 5 year scenario. With current prices/rates and assuming 2% appreciation on nearly everything (unlikely on the house itself, but trying to tip the scales slightly in favor of owning), it would cost $72506 more to buy that house than rent the apartment in town. We could rent and go to Paris every year and still be better off than buying that fucking house - and that's valuing all of my own labor maintaining/repairing the thing at zero.

I fat fingered a digit upon re-examination, I thought that outcome seemed a bit worse than it should be... the real delta isn't $72k, it's only $60k.

Sixty thousand fucking dollars to have a garage. I think I can go without it.

If renting is what it takes to get you guys back to Paris then I'm in favor of renting, at least for the medium-term.

I would not buy anything in this market. Selling and renting is the smartest thing you can do financially right now.
