My parents have seen 700k+ in added equity on their home over the past few years and are considering cashing out a portion of that equity (50k or so) to contribute to a down payment on a house for myself (I am also contributing roughly 50k).

Financially speaking, is this a good idea? I fully trust them and they want to see me get into a home at the same age they did (26, so next year). They're acutely aware of how unaffordable homes are now, they see it as a way to preserve the generational wealth they've created. What do you all think and what should I know going into this?

First of all be grateful you have some amazing parents and tell them you love them.

Second, just do what they're advising since they seem to know what they're doing.

How do you check how much equity your home has to cash out?

That’s a fuck load of money for a down payment anon. Unless you’re buying a million dollar home your monthly mortgage should be fairly cheap. Refinance in a few years assuming interest rates will go down

Thank you mommy and daddy :)

Absolutely. I do, they've been instrumental in keeping me financially disciplined and literate.

Had the home inspected/assessed

The target is a multifamily building (2/3-flat) in an excellent neighborhood in the city I live in (target price 650-850k). So I'd be taking on 2 tenants and living in the building. First in the smallest, worst unit, and as my income/family grows I can move into the nicer ones.

Also important as property tax here is out of control so I'd be able to pass any increases directly onto the tenants.

My mom has been telling me for years she was going to do exactly this for me. Even the number was the same.

Last fall when I put an offer on a house she was all like, "ohh Anon the markets have been bad can't do it""

Fucking bitch

Go for it Anon. If you're going to stay in the same place for a long time it's worth it to buy now.

Yeah that's why we're waiting. Rents are still quite affordable in my area and inventory is VERY low. So now isn't a good time to buy.

My mother is a stupid cunt whose husbands have always provided her with a house payment and was nasty to my sister and me during the entirety of my upbringing

I’m not so well versed on properties but I don’t see them going down anytime soon. Hug your parents.

That my reminds me that my mom bought a house for me all by herself from cash she accumulated.
