Is real estate at all worth it now? If the rates were low I could start by buying a sfh with 5% down physician loan, rent it out , then move on to multifamily with 25% down? But now even if I get a 5% down loan, I'll be paying high interest and no appreciation. So dont see any point. How do people get to that portfolio of 20houses? Just lucky to start when the rates were low and houses went up in value every day?

U should understand that if real estate merely stays at the current price instead of going up the way it did 2010-2022 , then it's no longer an investment, as u still pay property tax, insurance, repairs. And any $ spent on re could be invested in the stock market.

I'm retarded and don't know anything about real estate, so with that preface:

- what would it look like if prices diminished to align with rates?

- why is real estate never going to improve? assume I know nothing about how the market works.

I'll start with the caveat that if I were highly confident about what the real estate market (or any other market) was going to do, I would be calling my broker rather than sharing my hot tip with a bunch of racist lawyers. With that caveat, my current expectation is that we can expect to see several years of flat real estate prices or possibly small declines.

When you consider both interest rates and the cost of housing, housing is currently as unaffordable as it has ever been (with the possible exception of the height of the bubble in the 2000's). It's unlikely that prices are going to get higher because people simply can't afford them. At the same time, there is a serious shortage of housing. Home building never really recovered from the 2008 bubble, and it stopped almost completely during the pandemic. And everyone who owns a home already refinanced at negative real interest rates during the pandemic, giving them a strong incentive to not move and not sell. The result is that real estate sales are near historic lows as nobody can afford to buy and nobody wants to sell.

This will probably continue until rates go down and/or wages go up to catch with current prices. And housing prices may decline a bit as people finally decide to sell and more housing finally gets built. But there isn't enough demand for housing to push prices higher right now but there also isn't enough supply to drive prices much lower, either.

HTH

So if u pretend that rates do come down significantly now. Let's say u can buy your 1st investment property at 5% 20% down? What then? I've been reading biggerpockets threads from 2019 where they brag how in Colorado even if the house doesnt make much in rental(and it was much cheaper back then) they get something like $500/day in appreciation which beats investing in high yield properties in midwest. Same with California. Index funds dont allow leverage except tqqq(which I failed to buy into on january1 like an idiot)

Those people actually made it. A bunch of them bought their 1st duplex or triplex while in college and so on and now live off passive income. While I can spend a significant part of my savings to buy a vacation home in Tahoe and pay 2x what people paid for it several yrs ago

I dont understand this "flipping" but I indeed see a lot of condos even that were bought in 2022 and put back on the market immediately at +30%. If they dont find a sucker, theyll end up just losing the cost of real estate and transaction fees. I dont get how such people have all the cash to make such transactions.

Seems like the property tax is too high in Cleveland at 4%? Otherwise if u put 60k down could still come out with 10k positive return? If I get a bunch of this though I think that would be a lot of assets with small values. Would be nice to have a single property that's worth more

I think Columbus maybe the city for a starting landlord. The city is shit. But it's one of the very few cities in midwest that has population growth. And obviously prices are much less compared to Florida or western states. Do i need 20% or 25% down for conventional investor loan?
