Unfortunately i dont have much of a choice, rebting is essentially throwing money away so in the long run even buying high is a better investment. Sometimes buying make sense, sometimes renting is the better option. You have to run the numbers. Houses are an expense. Unless you catch a low in the real estate roller coster you probably won't even break even once mortgage interest, property taxes and maintenance are factored in.

Too many people now "need" granite and central AC. I bet there are plenty of affordable houses. Wait a minute.... I think my friend rented that place and a bunch of us partied there every weekend. The Rolling Rock was flowing constantly. This place was a dump...but it worked for us. Probably would sell for $300 now if it wasn’t demo’ed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What about homeowners insurance, I'm sure that will jump due to "replacement value"? It's not only the current buyers getting rammed with higher prices, we'll all see it soon in these other costs. The prices now are nuts. There is a house in my neighborhood that sold for $475K last November. It came back on the market last week at $600K, and was under contract in 3 days. There was nothing significant done to it in those several months. A quick $125K gain in 7 months... Nice... I told wifey, let's sell our house, go travel the US for a year in the RV, then re-buy after it all crashes in a year or so and get a great deal. Its coming for sure. Towns have been cutting services. Now with these values going up 15% ..20%...where ever its at now... they are looking at ways to turn that into tax revenue. I vaguely recall though....that reassessments may only be done so many years after the last one. We had one 2 years ago I think. Ever notice they ain’t so quick to reassess when things tank? And that RV plan has been discussed here. Not realistic for us right now...but for those who can do it..it makes a lot of sense. Not only would it be a big cash intake.... it would be a blast. I’d dump the 31 foot C though and buy a used Tiffin 40 foot diesel. 50 minutes ago, Bomber said: What happened to N.J.'s 2% cap on annual property tax increases? Good question.

Exactly... but many people still believe a house is an "investment". It's only after you run ALL the numbers will you see that it isn't. A house is shelter. Period. Your housing cost (depending on if you own or rent) should be based on only what you feel your shelter cost is worth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wifey is reluctant to leave the kids and rugrats for an extended period. I told her we have many video options to stay connected, but can't get her to bite just yet. I have also been working on her to get the hell out of NJ and move South. I'm planning a RV trip right now, and planning on sneaking in some house reconnaissance, and told her I'd buy her a house on a lake. Hopefully I can twist her arm a bit more to make that move.

I did some digging around to see just how large of an issue this was. Reports were that at least 8 million to 10 million people were at the risk of eviction for non-payment. Compare that to a normal year of 3 million. I don't even know how accurate that 10 million is, or how they measure it, since so many landlords are mom and pop operations. In some states, like California, it said over 20% of renters aren't paying. Then add in the number of potential mortgage foreclosures, which are estimated in that 10+ million range too... Many of these landlords aren't paying their mortgages. Once the renters skip out (as you know they'll never pay back rent), how do the landlords pay back past due mortgages. Then add in all the private homeowners who haven't been paying their mortgages. Many recent houses sold in my area were FHA 3.5% down loans, These people have no skin in the game and no equity. Makes it easy to walk away. Trying to get a handle on the dark days of what's coming in the housing market is tough... how does this movie end???

The proportion of how much you pay towards that budget is based on the value of your property compared with other properties in your town. If your house goes up while everybody else's stays the same, your property tax will go up because, relatively speaking, your property is worth more than the others. If all the properties go up by the same percentage, your property's value is the proportionally the same as everyone else's so your share of the tax burden is unchanged.
