    Arizona Real Estate (Bubble)

    No LL you are flat our WRONG. The floorplan I had was HATED. HATED so much that the builder could not sell it. They in fact had trouble selling the entire Legacy community (not Irvine, high property taxes). This floorplan was selling for 1.3 million and one day they lowered the price of three...

    Declining Rents

    I REGRET SELLING my purchases. I REGRET NOT BUYING the model because now I have to put in a pool after escrow. Where do u get REGRET buying? And I edited my comment because I thought of more ways you are probably a cheapskate and rather than write more posts, I combined it into one.

    Declining Rents

    Messing with us again. LOL! LL looks at short term and losses on paper, negating that you must live SOMEWHERE. What about going on vacation? That leaves u with pix and memories. Lots of money gone. What about buying a car? Does LL buy some beater car because it's cheaper or a decent car that...

    Declining Rents

    I have some regrets. I wish I had NEVER sold a single property I have owned because in the long term they are worth much more than what I paid. Except the last sale. I have no regrets selling that. The new owners will have a problem selling it for more than what they paid but it's because of...

    Arizona Real Estate (Bubble)

    Because rents were way too low and they have gone up alot. But YOU said I should have rented. I knew that was a very bad idea. Lets see. Lock in a high rent for a year or more till my house is built. Move into an old place with old A/C which will cost me at least double what I pay with my new...

    Declining Rents

    I have a regret. I should have bought the model. Then I wouldn't have to get a pool installed after escrow. I have another regret. I probably could have gotten more from my legacy sale but in the end, the people who bought my place will be paying $33K in property taxes and won't be able to...

    INFLATION IS OUR FRIEND

    Exactly. The government will always be there to bail you out. How much more debt is the US going to take on with higher and higher servicing costs? I don't know. I HATE debt. I know I could have made a lot leveraging my house, buying rentals, etc. But no debt (cars, house, school etc) means no...

    How high will mortgage rates climb in the next 36 months?

    I think they have big fees when they buy something. (more than if you just went to a regular agent and then there is the commish they makes selling). Still losing on every property and having carrying costs seems to be not such a good thing. LOL! At least in AZ their carrying costs are MUCH...

    How high will mortgage rates climb in the next 36 months?

    There is the problem. If they cut, then you will see buying again and once again they will be in the same situation we were in back in the 70's. It took THREE recessions and over a decade to get things under control. Then of course they cut from that mega rate they had and that led to the stock...

    How high will mortgage rates climb in the next 36 months?

    Someone could buy them out I guess for the properties they own. Interesting that redfin is the agent selling some of their properties. This is what they own in JUST maricopa county: https://mcassessor.maricopa.gov/mcs/?q=opendoor I just don't understand why they didn't learn from zillow. They...

    How high will mortgage rates climb in the next 36 months?

    I don't believe a 7% mortgage is enough to get people not to buy where I am. As long as there is not excessive other payments, a couple earning $100K (between both of them which is not that difficult here) can qualify for a 2000 sq foot new 4 bedroom single story home in a nice neighborhood...

    How high will mortgage rates climb in the next 36 months?

    In the 70's the government laid off a lot of people and cut spending. They cut space programs, aerospace and lots of social programs. If the government is serious about cutting inflation it's time THEY cut spending and laid off people. Have we heard of one single person being cut in the...

    How high will mortgage rates climb in the next 36 months?

    Obviously I am not USC but houses will be back to where they were in January soon enough. Some areas already are. Oil is back to January levels. In fact back to where it was in October 2021 (prices went down and then back up between Oct 21 and Jan 22. Come January, what inflation is there in...

    Global Recession?

    Someone in the neighborhood refinished a china cabinet, kept the buffet, put a base on the upper portion and sold that. It looked awesome so I joined some facebook groups to see how to do that (my daughter has some old furniture their neighbor left them when he moved recently). The groups are...

    Global Recession?

    If the 52 week doesn't hold, I'm looking at 2900-3400 on the sp. If everyone didn't pile into tesla and appl, the sp500 would have already broke that low imo

    INFLATION IS OUR FRIEND

    Raising rates is not going to dampen consumer spending as it did in the 70's. At that time there was no government handouts. It was shameful to be on welfare and you'd do anything to avoid it. There was not as many two income households so if things were tight u HAD to cut back. Credit...
