Buying a house is like buying Bitcoin, except its a guaranteed success instead of a speculation.

Ok bro. Gotta live somewhere, the advantage given to my crypto stack if I had used my puny down payment instead on memecoins is negligible and instead of having a nice 2.5x I'd be paying more than double my current mortgage in rent by now.

Here are your two options:

>rent. Pay $1,500 per month this year (landlord is making profit). Each year that goes up 10-20% percent. After 30 years, you’re still making payments, and you have no equity in your housing.

They were sold on a lie and think now they've won the lottery. They genuinely believe that the price will go up forever. It's the only bet they've ever made and they made it in a time that makes them appear to have made a good decision. It's likely the only smart choice they've ever felt like they've made. Challenging that idea erases the one ticket to success they fool themselves into believing they accomplished by some miracle of foresight, Unfortunately for them the next 10-12 months will be an absolute bloodbath in the housing sector. For most homeowners it'll be the biggest betrayal of the little lie they've been living that they've ever seen.

There's some truth to that. But fires, safety issues, and natural disasters can destroy the house or make it impossible to live in. Houses also come with taxes, maintenance costs, low liquidity, and legal liability for damage people suffer on the property.

Bitcoin, stocks, bonds, etc. can also be sold short, so speculators can make money by correcting overly high prices. This is nice because you're less likely to be overcharged when you buy. 123 Main St. cannot be sold short, so there's greater risk of being overcharged when you buy.

Depends on a lot o land and the county. As far as I understand some land comes without an address and to get an address you need to build a home. Some land already has an address and you can put power there and live in a shed if that county allows you to . Land is tricky you must research a lot where you want to buy it, Arizona for example has a lot of cheap land but drilling a well will cost you a lot. I'm looking to buy land and put a shed on it I think most states will allow you to live there without a building but it would need a septic system. What I really know for sure is that tiny house is a rip off get a loft shed they're much more better built and with insulation and power connected to it you can literally live in them comfy even in the coldest winter. Pretty sure it can be done with all the utilities for 20-30k.

The van life influencer shit is bullshit, look in to it sometime. All these people like the girl in your video come from wealthy families who they go home to regularly when they want to be in a house and their parents fund their lifestyles. Lots of ex van life people have talked about how the whole thing is just for show for social media and in reality it's terrible. All of these people always end up moving in to housing within about 2-5 years.
I watched a lot of videos on this topic during the lockdown because they kept getting recommended to me in my feed. They're fun to watch but they're not reality at all, they're basically all fake.
I watched a video of an older guy in his 50's or 60's make a big vent video about how social media inspired him to sell his home and do van life, he thought he would travel and make tons of friends and have lots of great experiences like people made out.
In reality he was very lonely, the van was freezing, he couldn't even properly have a shower or go to the bathroom or even cook meals properly. He sounded so depressed and miserable and just kept asking himself why he had made this choice. That's when I saw a lot of comments talking about how it was all fake and they were sorry he fell for it.

>muh down payment went into BTC
>I turned 20k into 200k! and I paid rent but who cares

you could put 10k as a down payment for a 200k house and get the rest financed, then put the other 10k into btc. House prices go up and turn that 200k into 300k or 400k. You pay 0 rent. Meanwhile your 10k BTC investment turns into 100k if invested at the same time as the retard. Then you've made the same money or more but saved on the rent.

Owning a home is generally a bad investment not because the price will go down but because it typically gets outperformed by other investments.
Even if you don’t like crypto just put the money in SPXL and it will do better than housing.
Imagine putting down $100k+ just to still have a $3,5000 mortgage that will over the course of its life have you pay 100% of the same value into interest as you do into principal. Great work guys but hey everyone needs a place to live so I guess that cancels everything out

does having a mortgage disqualify you from getting leverage for other investments?
You can get a mortgage with a 5% down payment that you can't default on if you keep paying it off.

you can use a tiny amount as a down payment if you're as financially powerful as you say. This is leverage that you don't get in other areas of the financial system. They don't give you 20x leverage with no margin call for other stuff.

Rent is 3x cheaper than the average mortgage where I live. That's not even including the time and money you have to spend on maintenance on your house.

I'd rather have extra savings every month I can use to build an emergency fund, invest, and travel wherever I want, instead of being house poor until I'm 60 years old.

Also, my landlord barely raises my rent. It's only 2% - 3% once a year.

This is a bad mindset. You’re getting caught up in the semantics. The only thing that matters is price and what you do with that difference.
If you’re some mouth breather / NPC then sure go sink all your money into a mortgage because at least one day you’ll have something so long as you don’t fuck it up.
For everyone else price is what’s most important or do you mean to tell me you’d lay $4,000/mo mortgage vs $400/month rent for the exact same thing?
