Japanese that bought real estate any time in the last 20 years are fucking rekt, and America's monetary policy is closely mirroring Japan during the lead up to the Nikkei crash, plus there is the headwind of boomer's dying off

Houses literally can't continually appreciate without destroying the country they're in and rendering any 'gains' you made speculating on them null and void. They have to remain at a reasonable ratio of price:median household income or else new generations get priced out of home ownership, lose out on the most accessible way of building wealth/equity available to a normal person, and indefinitely delay major life decisions like marrying and raising a family because they never get to settle down. Community suffers as well because everyone is a fucking transient.

Houses should literally never appreciate and the expectation that they should do so is insanity.

Indeed. Instead they rise in value even as they rot away from the inside out until the hot potato game finally ends and some generation or other gets left holding the bags, has to take the whole loss on an unsalvageablr 150 year old boomer box and eat the cost of bulldozing and building a new house on the lot.

Since we're stuck in this game all we can hope for at this point is that boomers are the ones stuck with these rotting shitboxes when it all comes crashing down. The longer it takes for the housing ponzi to collapse, the more haplrss millennials and zoomers get wangled into buying these wretched faux investments with zero money down FHA loans and 'attractive' interest rates. Damned if you buy, damned if you don't buy. It's really a shit time to be in your 20s/30s looking to settle down.

Depends where you are, but for the most part, this is pretty spot on. I'm a real estate appraiser in a major metro area of burgerland. People, mostly chinks and pajeets, are paying a minimum of $650K for a 2,500sf home. Hardly any of them are completely remodeled. Most of them have original kitchen and bath cabinets with a new slab of granite or quartz on top and maybe a new roof, HVAC, or water heater.

If you do buy a house, NEVER buy it from a chink, pajeet, arab, or jogger. They all let their landscaping go to complete shit, never remodel or any sort of general home maintenance and there's always a lofting smell in the house that's near impossible to get out without completely repainting the interior and running oxidizers for about a week. Before you check out a place, go to your county's real estate tax website. They'll post the name of the owner and if it's a non-European or Latin sounding name, don't go fucking near it.

Only retards buy houses. You need to build a house, save money for land, then save money for the house, you can get the amish people to build you a nice house for less than $50k.
Don't be the slave owner for the next 30 years, all mortgages are a scam, me and my wife are in mid 20's and we already have a brand new house just build 6 months ago.
