idk what niggerbrained fantasy world you live in but he absolutely cannot afford a house 5x his income with rates at 7%. $110k gross is about $60k after taxes, insurance, and 401k contributions, or $5000/month.

$500k house @ 7% with a generous 20% down is $2700/mo mortgage + $850/mo taxes and insurance + $250/month utilities = $3800/month

$3800/$5000 = 76% of his income just for a plywood box over his head.

Just pay the PMI retard. I bought a house for $350k in March 2020. It's now worth ~490. If I waited until I had 20% down, i never would have been able to afford this house.

This math is completely fucked up. First, housing needs to come before max 401k. Contribution up to employer match will do, house is best bought as early as possible. Second no one pays 40%+ in taxes if they hire a semi competent accountant. Lastly unless OP has a wife and kids there's no need for a $500k house, $300-350k will be fine, point is to paid off house (no rent) by the time of retirement.

It's just mental gymnastics by renters to cope with the fact that they're the losers in society.

I honestly don't see myself living in the same place for rest of my life. Should I even bother buying a home? Renting gives me the freedom to pick up and leave at any time. It sucks that I can't build equity on a home though.

If you are early in your career and willing to move to different metro areas to chase a larger paycheck then rent until you finally land a decent job.

It makes sense to buy a house if you have a stable job and the mortgage payment is cheaper than renting a similar place, because you can always pack your bags and list it for rent and have some cuck pay it off for you.

lol this. I bought a house a few months after the pandemic started (before prices started shooting up) and everyone on /biz/ told me I was a moron because covid-19 was going to crash the housing bubble. Now the house is worth over 1.5x what I paid for it, less than 3 years later.

I have several friends who cashed out a bunch of stocks and waited for the bottom so they could buy a house. The bottom never came. They ended up missing out on both the potential house and stock gains by holding neither through the recovery.

tl;dr don't try to time the market; if you want a house and you can afford to buy one then just fucking buy one.

>>53988463
OP with your salary you should easily be able to save $2,500 per month and invest it in the S&P 500; do that for 5~10 years then you will easily be able to afford a house by putting down a 25~50% down payment
