LJL I can legit work at a bookstore for like 30-40k a year and pay this..LOL |
|
Date: November 17th, 2017 3:44 PM Author: Dashing unhinged tanning salon queen of the night Your principle and interest will be $299.67 with a 20% down payment and a 3.84% interest rate.
Depending on where you live in flyover the estimators on insurance and property tax are worthless. I live in small town flyover and my property taxes are twice as high as local suburbia of major city. Insurance may be high because of tornado/wind & storm/hail damage. You may be expected to replace your roof every 10-15 years.
Like I said around 600 is what I'd expect realistically. |
|
Date: November 17th, 2017 3:49 PM Author: Contagious umber hunting ground 600 is not bad at all, if u can get all of the interest deduction back (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3800831&forum_id=2#34711522) |

if you're willing to look at townhouses, u can buy for below 100k |
|
Date: November 17th, 2017 3:44 PM Author: concupiscible coiffed son of senegal I live in even more legit ARE COUNTTTTRY than Texas, and unless you commute an hour and a half each way or live in a ghetto, you are looking at $200k+ for a decent house in the burbs.

|
Date: November 17th, 2017 3:45 PM Author: Contagious umber hunting ground i'm looking at townhouses, brother - that's like automatic 100k-150K off the listing price just for being a townhouse
commute would be around 30 minutes
i'm also looking at a more traditional, standalone suburban house that's bigger with a big yard, by water, etc. - that's around 250K |

Plan for kids? |
|
Date: November 17th, 2017 3:51 PM Author: Contagious umber hunting ground not yet, but probably just one
other option is a larger house (2500 sq feet) for 250k in a gated community
my parents lean towards the latter
real estate is pretty much NOT an investment in flyover, period though, so i'm split. it'd be nice having a larger space (and maybe higher interest deductions) but it'd be nice having a cheap house
|
|
Date: November 17th, 2017 3:52 PM Author: Greedy violet nursing home The house you're looking at sounds fine for a couple with no kids, but if you want kids you need a bigger house.
We're looking at moving to a bigger house soon ourselves and are in a DINK house now. |
|
Date: November 17th, 2017 3:53 PM Author: Contagious umber hunting ground yeah this is what my mother says - she thinks we should get a 250k, 2500 sq foot house in the gated community
i just really like the idea of buying a < 100k house, lol |

Date: November 17th, 2017 9:14 PM Author: Maize Church Weed Whacker CR. As you said above, housing in flyover isn't an investment AT ALL; place will not appreciate in value much, if at all, more than inflation.
Other thing to potentially look at is buying a duplex/double and renting out the other unit; depending on the particular property, it may cover the mortgage, insurance, & property tax. You'd then cover maintenance on both yours and the rental. Move to a bigger house later and keep it as an investment property. |

|
Date: November 17th, 2017 9:37 PM Author: Maize Church Weed Whacker LOL. I'm far from Jewish. And it's buying two fucking houses that share a wall and renting one of them. Yes, why would you take advantage of the one area in which you can get 5x leverage to cut down on how long you have to work away at your little office job!

|
Date: November 17th, 2017 9:32 PM Author: Contagious umber hunting ground CR, I've thought about this too - I wanted to get into slumlording for awhile, and being a landlord is actually possible in flyover.
I'd try to take out some kind of a mortgage to get the interest rate deduction. I think that might net out higher in the long run - invest the extra cash every month into the market, get the interest rate deduction, and don't throw away money on rent. So even if the property just keeps steady with inflation, it'd be OK. |
|
Date: November 17th, 2017 9:38 PM Author: Maize Church Weed Whacker Ya, definitely possible in flyover. Not sure I'd do slumlording as a first property though--lots of turnover, evictions, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3800831&forum_id=2#34714092) |
|
Date: November 17th, 2017 9:40 PM Author: Contagious umber hunting ground yeah, i guess i'll start small. would love to invest in apt complexes at some point.
my mom has considered moving closer to us and kept telling me to buy a place with an in law house so she could rent it from me...this is pretty much the perfect idea |
|
Date: November 17th, 2017 9:43 PM Author: Maize Church Weed Whacker Ha, ya, not sure I'd want to be that close to my mom but good for you if you guys are close.
Ya, supposedly duplex is a good way to get your feet wet on rental properties because they're small and you're right there on premises. Once you sell if there's a bunch of tax advantages that would let you roll it into a bigger property w/o paying taxes. |
|
Date: November 17th, 2017 9:45 PM Author: Contagious umber hunting ground 180 about the tax benefits
i think duplex sounds like the best idea so far
lol, we're close. my parents are divorced so she's lonely and old :( |
