Half the mortgages in many Vegas zip codes are well under water. If you are an experienced flipper, or looking for investment property, it's one thing,but buying a single family home as a residence in this Valley is a.crapshoot. Not an investment.
Real estate on Long Island has gone up something like 47 of the last 50 years. Since Vegas began to mature in the early 80s, it's been very cyclical. I don't see it improving. Others do. Is anyone here certain a house bought today for $200,000 will sell for more in five years?
Ten years?
If your financial advisor suggested you tie up your main assets in a stock whose track record for the last forty years was both choppy and well below the industry norm, would you sign on for a thirty year ride?
The benefits of home ownership are overstated and the downside ignored. In addition to a mortgage, you have the cost of thirty years of maintenance to look forward to. How many washers, dryers, fridges, air conditioners, stoves and dishwashers will need replacement?
Condos are worse. My complex has spent a fortune on our pools, and spent $250,000 on a clubhouse no one uses. In a condo, those would both be special assessments.
Anyone want to talk about HOAs? Only in America do people pay to surrender their civil liberties.
Rant over.
Don’t major appliances last at least 10 years typically?
Can you explain why people rent houses to others? If being a renter is a smart choice, then why would people rent out their houses to tenants? How do they make money?
Quote: petroglyphWould something like this micro inspection camera help you, instead of tearing up the floor and walls? Leaks are probably at a connection point, unless you've driven nails/screws into the area lately.

I actually have one of those. We had mice in the walls a few years ago so I bought one to see if I could locate where they were hiding or coming in.
Unfortuately for this leak the pipe that I believe is leaking was run through all of the floor joists so I would still have to drill a hole every 16 inches. Tonight I cut a 8 inch wide and 8 feet long hole. I have all of the joints exposed but none of them seem to be leaking so I am at a loss. There was a decent amount of water that came through the ceiling (through the spot where drywall had a seem). The pipe in question is directly above it so it has to be that pipe but right now nothing is leaking. I am at a loss. Tonight we are getting some really heavy thunderstorms so that will rule out a leak from the outside.

The actual summit is about the size of 2 or 3 ping pong tables.

Remember there are still a lot of interest only , jumbo payout mortgages from 2006-7 that will be coming due soon.

I dunno, the report that I saw said it was the size of ONE ping pong table, cut in half, with about 4-5 feet separating the two halves.
I guess we'll never know!

The benefits of home ownership are overstated and the downside ignored. In addition to a mortgage, you have the cost of thirty years of maintenance to look forward to.
Our mortgage will be paid off in the next couple of years. If we stay in that house until death, that's decades of free living (minus property tax and insurance). Can't get that deal if you're renting. Even if we move, with all the equity in a paid-off house, that is a massive down payment for whatever house we move into next, and may even outright pay it off depending on where we move to. Even with decades of maintenance costs, it still comes out cheaper than renting.
The vast, vast majority of people don't look at home ownership as an "investment." They look at it as a place to effing live. Is the food you eat an "investment?" Are the clothes on your back an "investment?" I don't care if the value of my house drops to $0 as soon as I pay off the mortgage and stays there. I'll have a place to live. Forever. For free. That's all that I care about.
Quote:How many washers, dryers, fridges, air conditioners, stoves and dishwashers will need replacement?
We've been in our house for almost 15 years. Washer, dryer, fridge, and stove have never been replaced. Air conditioner was repaired once. Dishwasher replaced once. Water heater replaced once. The cost of major appliance repair or replacement is almost negligible when you factor in how long they last.
Quote:Anyone want to talk about HOAs? Only in America do people pay to surrender their civil liberties.
I, too, think HOA's are a scam.
You don't consider your largest cash outlay an investment. That's amazing financial literacy.
"the cost of major appliance repair is neglible" Absolutely. No reason to worry about things like that. Over the course of thirty years, what's a few thousand dollars? I'm sure your house will age well. I mean appliances, roofs, sheds, windows , rugs, sidewalks, driveways, and landscaping all have useful lifetimes of fifty plus years. Why concern yourself with these things. In just fifteen more years, you'll now own your thirty year old house and never ever have to worry about these things. Everyone knows homes without mortgages translates into living carefree. Just be sure to buy another mortgage free dwelling when you decide to move.
By the way- yes, I consider the food I eat as an investment. Every dollar you spend is a dollar you can potentially invest.
The dollar you spend on a candy bar today might buy you ten such bars in the future if it is saved, rather than spent. Every dollar matters.
Too many people, far too many people, take 5 or 10 percent off the top, throw that in an investment/ retirement account and think they are doing the right thing. We saw our parents dutifully buy houses worth a few years salary and spend the rest of their adulthood faithfully paying a mortgage because some day it would be paid off and they could live "free" the rest of their lives.
Bankers are your friends. The gubermint is your friend. In fact, the two of them have joined together to make it easier for you to be in debt for the next couple of decades. If home ownership wasn't in our best interest, would banks lend out on them?
Why is mortgage interest deductible while credit card interest generally isn't? The government decided one type of debt is good and they will subsidize it, while the other is bad and you are on your own.
Surely, they do these things in your best interests, not theirs. That's just how banks work. Always looking out for the common man.
We live in a nation where half the adult population isn't prepared to handle a $1,000 emergency. It should be obvious the " system" isn't working for many people and is stifling growth for others.
Unless it's all a big coincidence that the rise in home ownership has not resulted in the wealth being equally distributed among the people, but instead has resulted in the biggest concentration of wealth at the very top that our Nation has ever seen.

I don't consider it an investment, because I'm not expecting any return on it. Housing is a basic need. Financial literacy has nothing to do with it. If I was a real estate investor, it would be a totally different story.

I don't know what this rant is about. I neither said nor implied any of this. All I said was the cost of renting far outweighs the cost of home maintenance and appliance repair over a person's lifetime.

You have a very loose definition of the word "investment." I'm not talking about frivolous expenditures like candy bars. I'm talking about eating food to survive, and, you know, not die. There's no opportunity cost for eating food to survive. It is a necessity. Not an investment. If someone is literally making decisions like, "Does my family eat dinner this week or should invest in Apple?" then, well, I don't know what to tell them... "That's amazing financial literacy," I guess?

You need to head to the dollar store and get some $1 ribeyes stat.😀
You have to pick between those.

Quote: billryanI didn't expect you to " get" it. It takes a lot to break with a lifetime of being inculcated.
"Get" what? That home ownership is less expensive than renting where I live? That's all I've been saying. What is it that you don't understand about that?
You talk about me being inculcated when you are the one who is completely blinded by some bizarre hatred of home ownership and being argumentative for no reason, spouting irrelevant strawmen and non-sequiturs. Do you and ZenKing get together and talk about how "droned out" everyone is and how you've got the whole world figured out? LOL... You've picked a weird hill to die on with this.

205k purchases 3 bdrm condo. At today's interest rates and taxes w/ insurance the payments would be $1050. The HOA is $250 month which includes all exterior maintenance, water, trash , sewer, security, pools, gym, and clubhouse. Very similar to what you find in an apartment environment.
The rental on the 3 bdrm is $1500. So that is $200 less. One thing I see is then you are locked in at a lower price. Rents in Vegas are exponentially increasing. When I moved here 5 years ago the 2 bdrm place I rented in Henderson for $900 is now $1250. The building I lived in downtown was $1200 for a 1 Br and now $1600.
I bought my place a couple years ago and I'm right at $1000 all in. At the time the 3 bdrm was renting for $1300 vs the $1500 today. I find it very hard time make an argument for renting vs buying in Vegas today. Maybe luxury highrise properties with extreme HOA's and $400k+ homes there is an argument to be made renting makes more sense.

A few months ago when I was planning on moving to Miami, I was looking at a place that was offering to rent with an option to buy. The price was fixed and at the end of the lease they would apply $2000 (50%) of each months rent to the purchase price of the house, I really liked that idea because I didn't want to commit to buying until i learned a little more about the area.

No, you do not. I don't invest in rent. I pay it as a cost of doing business. My money is earning money. From that money, comes the rent. The thing is my money is working for me.

Quote: mcallister3200Uggg. First thing you learn about real estate, don’t listen to the guy who quotes Dave Ramsey about real estate.
While I often quote Dave Ramsey, and I credit him for helping me break my seemingly endless cycle of debt, he disagrees with me on this. He says to buy a house as early as possible and pay it off as quickly as humanly possible.
He likes you to pay off your house in about seven years.
I'm the opposite. I say don't even think about buying a house until you have established yourself and can pay cash. Cash you don't need for other investments. Homes are simply not good investments, especially in Vegas.
I'd buy almost any property on Long Island or in certain areas of the country. Just not Vegas.
One could ignore the reality of the last twenty five years and hope for different results going forward, but I like to be pragmatic.
Growing up, my Aunt owned about a dozen houses. A couple were boarding houses but some were normal one family homes. Yet she lived in an apartment house. I didn't get it then, nor did my parents.
It wasn't until she passed away that anyone got a look at the financials and they were amazing. Eye opening, really.

Dave Ramsey. I was a fan for a short while until I realized it's the same thing over and over and over and over. Same dumb people who call in with the same dumb questions with the same answers. "No, you shouldn't buy that swimming pool on credit when you only have $50 in the bank." I get really annoyed when people call in just to tell him they are debt free.Quote: billryanWhile I often quote Dave Ramsey, and I credit him for helping me break my seemingly endless cycle of debt, he disagrees with me on this.

Good thing I have a lease. My rent is evidently below not only Henderson but also Las Vegas .
I'm headed out today to look at a house in Pahrump. $125,000 for almost an acre of land with a manufactured home and two pads rented out for RVs. I think I can add one, maybe two more pads. If I can, that's $1500 a month income ,virtually maintenance free . The house needs a little updating but will produce a few hundred a month income. It also has a quonset hut that would be ideal for storing my stuff if it wasn't an hour away. After everything, it will give double digit returns on investment indefinitely. That's why you buy a house.
House= good investment.
Home= mediocre investment.
Nuff said.

Sounds wonderful. Whatever ROI you can muster out of the tweakers in Pahrump can be applied to cover your ever increasing rents in Henderson. Some people might choose to apply the ROI to a lower fixed expense on their dwelling that they can customize any way they want.
Is the Pahrump market more stable price wise than the Vegas market? You might be able to pick up the Casa De Trailer acquisition for 60k in a couple years.

Yes, if they keep stacking 3% increases on my $949 rent, I'll be paying four digits a month in rent in only a couple more years. I doubt I'll be living here then anyway. Hopefully, the cycle continues and houses are 25% cheaper than they are right now.

Often in humor there is truth. We say 'tweakers in Pahrump" and we say Hendertucky to refer to an under-educated population prone to alcohol use wherein the most common theme is barbed wire on the windows and silly pink flamingoes in the front 'yard' strewn with rocks. I wonder how much of this is true? Is it relevant to a landlord? Do tweakers bounce their rent checks? Do university graduates really get rocks tossed at them in Henderson?Quote: MaxPenWhatever ROI you can muster out of the tweakers in Pahrump can be applied to cover your ever increasing rents in Henderson.

I don't imagine collecting rent in a trailer park is ever easy. I lived in Henderson for a year and that was enough for me. They are always touting their low crime stats. It's a lie.

Had a motorcycle and cargo trailer stolen in two separate incidents from right in front of my apartment. Police reports filed and never made it into the crime reports. Neighborhood to this day still shows zero crime....lol.
