I’m sure there are many house poor people who do not regret it. Doesn’t change the fact they are house poor.
That can be true but look it like this. You paying mortgage directly or indirectly whether you own a house or not. Why not have your money go to your equity than paying down someone else’s loan. That equity is a cheat code for black people because chances of you getting a large loan at a bank is slim for most black people.

for people that want to save money on mortgage (lower monthly payment and interest over time) and have some extra cash to spend, throw that extra money at the principal balance and ask the lender for a "mortgage recast". that's what i did because i would rather pay the PB down faster than pay thousands of dollars on a refinance.

I did both. I refinanced, which cost me like 4K total and then still make the same payment. so I'm throwing an extra $400 a month at the principle. already paid off 10% of the remaining mortgage in less than a year.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
When this inflation keeps rising and the rent keeps rising and the layoffs start and people can’t afford the mortgage….

The bank gonna let these joints go for the low and the market is going to go down down down. It already has in 40 out of the top 50 real estate markets.

I did at first because of the location. I live in farm country now about 45 minutes from the bay. But once I got used to driving where I needed to go I love it. The weather during the summer is hot AF but minor inconvenience

I brought my house last year, rates were 2.3% for a 30 year, no points, and if I was to use the average rates today, my monthly payment would be the same if my house went down by like $250k. Now, if I want to sell now, I won't make much money but I won't lose anything because home prices have still gone up a bit since last year.

I got a good deal on my place this year, and my interest rate is 3.25%. Almost didn't make it :whew:. I bid over (nowhere near 65k), and it still appraised for more than I bought it for (and has gone up in value since then as well). It looked like shyt, but had good bones. I've put about 50k into it and with the improvements it will be more, I want to get it reappraised (with some white people pictures on the wall of course). It's a multi-unit, the rent will pay the mortgage and leave me a decent profit after I've put away all my other expenses.
Girl, I’m so proud of you!
