Here's a good calculator for owning vs. renting:

Another recent phenomenon that affects some renters these days is the whole short term rental model. I know two people over the last year or so who were told when they entered the lease renewal phase that they couldn't because the landlord had decided to go the short term route. Granted, they both lived in desirable areas near the beach and it's not going to be a factor for most renters. But it does demonstrate a point that affects all renters and that is that you are at the mercy of your landlord. At some point when the lease period is in limbo, you could find yourself at the whim of the landlord's future plans. I'm a firm believer in trying to control your own fate as much as possible. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Not an apt comparison. Cars only depreciate. (and before some ass comes along and says that some cars go on to become classic collectibles, that is far from the norm). |
And I'm pretty sure that a house doesn't immediately depreciate 20% the moment you move in. |
His neighbors' houses do. |

If I were a landlord, I would much rather have a long term renter than go the Air B&B route. The weekly rents collected are much higher, but they attract a more cavalier customer, who may abuse your property more. Plus you run the risk of pissing off the neighbors who live there full time. |

I think that would be a terrible idea and would not recommend it at all.
Why would you do that? He'll just spend all of that equity on renting instead.
Mortgage rates 20 years ago were about 8%. Assuming a standard 20% down on his $200K home and no refis, his monthly mortgage payment is at most $1,100. A $700K property can rent for probably around $3,200/month.
Not to mention, in under 10 years, he will likely own the home outright, meaning his cost to live will be essentially $0. |

Ha. And it doesn't matter if cars depreciate because the depreciation rate of a lease payment is much greater.
The benefit of this won't be realized in the short term, but in the long term it will. If you always lease, you will always have a hefty monthly payment. If you buy, and own for say, 10 years, you will have a monthly payment for about 5 years, and no payment for another 5 years. It's the latter 5 years where the real financial benefit is gained. (Yes, even factoring in average repair costs). |

Well I would just buy a cheaper place. That $700k value could be $450,000 in less than 10 years if there's another crash. |

It really depends on where you live. Where I live a 2 bed/2 bath condo sold for 2-300k in the 90's. That same condo sold for 600k in early 2000's. The crash brought it down to about 550. It's now on the market for 1.3 million and probably won't even last a week. |

I agree, and while it's not a big problem, it does occur in tourist popular areas. I brought it up mostly as an example of how as a renter you ultimately have little say in your longterm prospects of staying where you are. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

How does buying a $450,000 home in 10 years, make more sense financially than buying the same home for $195K home 20 years ago? In 10 years, he'll have no mortgage payment if he keeps his home even if it's only worth $450K.
If you assume he rents the same place between now and 10 years from now, he will have paid over $300,000 in rent by then.
If you own a home you bought for $195K that is now worth $700K, and you think a crash that will bring properties down by 45% is looming, then, the smart thing to do is to keep your home and save as much as possible, and then buy a similar home in 10 years for $450K.
Think of it like this... his mortgage is $1,100/month. If he sells and rents a similar home, the average monthly rent would be $2,600/month for 10 years. That's over $300K in rent spent.
Alternatively, if he keeps the home, and instead of paying $2,600/month rent he pays $1,100/month and then puts the $1,500/month away in savings, he will have $180K plus interest saved in 10 years.
You can use that money to put a down payment on a similar SECOND home that will then be worth $450K.
The monthly mortgage on THAT home would be around $1,400/month. If the prices fall in 10 years, he can still rent the first home (now paid off) for around $2,100 per month.
The renters in the first home are now paying the mortgage on his second home AND he is pocketing an extra $8.4K per year for a rainy day.

(It minimizes the loss of value, a 50% loss on a 200k condo isnt nearly as bad and no rent payments) |

No, no, no. Don't do that. I mean, burn the house down if you want, but, it would be wise to keep the house and buy the condo as a second property.
If the market crashes by 45% in 10 years, and you keep you house, you will have one property that you can rent out if you want for about $2,100 per month with NO mortgage payment remaining.
Then you buy a second condo like you said for $200K and let the renters in your first house, pay your mortgage on your second house and you pocket some as well.
You'll have income coming in, plus $700K in assets, on a mortgage that is like $160K for a net of $540K plus income from rental property.
If you sell, and re-buy, you'll burn all of your equity in renting for a decade, and have a $200K property to your name. |

Ha. It does.
Additionally, having children is a poor financial decision.
But it's not always about the financial decision.
So net-net, don't try to make a financial argument for renting because there isn't one really. The benefit of renting is flexibility, and the price is financial. The benefit of ownership is financial, and the price is flexibility. |

Never understood how they can make those demarcations unilaterally like that in a scenario where pricing is anything but unilateral. It's not even close.
The median home price in the United States is $200K. So they are setting that MI bar at 2.5x.
In California, the comparable home to a $500K average U.S. home would be $1.25M. |

I think you mean if the mortgage is $500,000 or less, not the home price. That would really suck if it's the value of the home. |

I think you mean if the mortgage is $500,000 or less, not the home price. That would really suck if it's the value of the home. |
You're correct, good catch. I looked it up, it's on the loan, not home price. And only on NEW mortgages.
So this would really only apply to those on jumbo loans (I think those start at $417K) anyway.

Quote: | The legislation would cut in half the popular mortgage interest deduction used by millions of American homeowners, changing the deduction’s rules for new mortgages. Presently, Americans can deduct interest payments made on their first $1 million worth of home loans. Under the bill, for new mortgages, they would only be able to deduct interest payments made on their first $500,000 worth of home loans. |

And I assume the interest on the first $500K still would be deductible. Can't imagine a $501K mortgage would be ineligible, even for this government.
I can imagine the ripple effects this would have on the mortgage lending market, escrow market, real estate market, and homebuilding market. |

This. Was just looking into buying. Won't be now till all this gets cleared up (plus I kind of hope it causes the CA housing market to crash and then I can swoop in and get a deal). |
