  • But the thing is that it never works like that! Uhh look wall street just fucked up! Now I can afford my house! Finall…oh just lost my job. Ah never mind! I’ll just be here under the underpass. I agree, you can find a moment. It will be a Walmart moment. Think about it like Christmas waiting at the door for your PS 3 at 2am. Its just 2 of you waiting to bust thru the door and grab that PS 3. Then it’s 2:30am and you got 15 fellow gamers. At 5 am the line goes around the block and the TV helicopter is flying around so you can’t hear anything. 6 am you’re planning …I’m gonna go to the right! Surely the toy section! 7am! You bust in and you run to the right and see nothing, keep going, to the left, to the right! Found the pile! Run! Fucker run! Oh shit they’re gone! They’re all gone!..Walmart has another 300 in the back. They’ll put them up 10 by 10 to keep the frenzy going. Same here, the banks will soft land them selves into loan heaven… 1.2million! Can’t afford? Foreclosure! 800k? Sure…can’t afford? Foreclosure! 590k? Sure! Can’t afford? …the same house getting sold over and over to different fools. The only way around the game is to buy what you can afford and live in it until you die…then the game continues with other fools.



  • That’s why I’m telling you, housing doesn’t drop. Fallout of 08…amature… Look, my parents bought a house for 75k back when I was just in highschool. We had been renting for a long time. My parents both are blue collar and made maybe 65k combined. But you see that? Income is almost the same as the price of the home? 15 years later I helped make the very last payments. My dad passed away only 5 years after that. Awesome retirement! Right? Fuck that! The house is now worth 1.2million. Uuu! Let’s sell it at the height! Yeah gonna make a ton of money! Nope, if you sell you won’t be able to afford the next one. Within months inflation leaves you in the dust. I bough a house down the road for 500k before your said 2008 hiccup. Now its 1.3million. And so are the taxes like 10 fold. You can’t own anything if you get sick or lose your job. Waiting for the “right moment” that’s what vultures. And I’m not criticizing you became when I bought my house everything around me was 700k. So a fixed upper for below market… Yey! 5 years of hard work that I’ll never get paid for. I’m on my 3rd house became I need to move around for my job. Go ahead tell me I should rent it out. I did that and learned how renters destroy because they don’t own so they don’t care. All the tariff stuff, that’s gonna send inflation up thru the roof so you won’t be able to afford when you think the right moment is coming. You’ll just be out on the street still waiting for the right moment. No. The best advice I can give you is to buy the most affordable thing you can be allowed to buy and work you ass off on it so you can upgrade. Once you own a house, you’re riding the market. Then you can move when the market drops… If you sell when the market is high. You think its high now? Then sell. LOL you can’t predict that market. I just hope that my kids are able to at least stay in our house and be able to pay it off one day. I’m in Washington state. Here taxes are like a python…ohh I can afford that! Goes up to your shoulders… Sure I’ll vote for improved roads and schools… Taxes double… WTF! Now you can barely make enough to pay rent and keep from freezing. And Californians read this and think…man I’ve gone without AC for a year before, just ride it out!..dude, go in the freezer and stay there for 6 months, let me know how that went. Make sure its plugged in. The other side! The one with the ice cubes!
