CMV: mortgages are just forced investing for rslurs who can't figure out how to open a brokerage account.

>I bet you wish you were a financial genius that had 90% of your net worth tied up in a single illiquid asset that comes with gutters to clean, like me :marseyclueless:

Mortgages are a safe investment that your kids can live in. Not to mention they lock in a major portion of your cost of living to a fixed rate. If you like renting by all means keep getting fleeced but don't begrudge homeowners because they like stability.

Plus, only poors don't have a house and a brokerage account. They're not mutually exclusive, dumbass.

This except my mortgage is $300 less than my rent was for double the square footage plus 2 yards, no human wastelands stomping on my ceiling, and I can make as much noise in my goon cave as I want.

Real estate investing is the only leveraged investing regular folks have access to.

This is true, and the very next question you should ask yourself: why, in other contexts, are we reluctant to loan hundreds of thousands of dollars to morons with zero financial insight?

Different risk profiles. It mostly comes down to the probability of being down x% where x is inverse to the leverage. No one cares if pa kent loses his house. They just care if they can recover their loan by seizing the assets, and they usually can.

Be sure to take advice from these people! Leverage yourself to the hilt and buy hooomes!

If you want to get rich its a good strategy. You're much more likey to go from nothing to tycoon by leveraging to the hilt, and your downside is pretty limited. You just go bankrupt.

Asymmetric risk profile like that is pretty attractive.

That's pretty irrelvant to whether buying one particular house makes sense. There are plenty of online calculators where you can plug in assumptions and see if it makes sense.

Housing prices can run away from you if there's a period where the S&P underperforms housing. Breaking into homeownership is a big up front investment that becomes more rewarding the longer you've finally started owning.

You don't have to be 90% invested in your home. Considering both the value of the home and the mortgage, only 25% of my net comes from my home, but the value of that home equity can be moved from place to place as I sell and buy elsewhere.

Unless you're buying from a boomer Los Altos who is moving out of state, that's not what's going on. You're just way off the mark, too many black pills.

Most Americans have the majority of their net worth in their primary residence.

Meanwhile my EOY net worth statement shows 27% of my net worth is in my primary residence and even that makes me nervous. :marseyworried: I wouldn't be able to sleep if 90% was tied up in one asset

Houses are like Sears and Roebuck. Someday soon they won't have a reason to exist and you'll be holding the bag!

If you have a house you should sell it and invest in green ETFs
