ARMS are the way to go...but u gotta stay on top of your shyt with them...gotta watch the LIBOR rate adjustments so you know what your mortgage will be...most people aren't able to flip and sell during the fixed rate perioddepends on their situation
i'll say this though….90 percent of people are NOT gonna pay off their mortgage
i would never get a fixed rate unless its a 10-15 year…ARMs are the way to go
i refinance people all the time already 10 plus years into a mortgage…but wanna go back for various reasons(some reasons smart some dumb)
america is so debt heavy its crazy…it really just depends on the person
at the same time if you want ownership in something…a house is the safest investment…its the only thing i would buy once that i couldn't buy twice….other than that just know what you doing.. but most people don't lol

Hear brags like that bullshyt too often yo unless your mortgage is paid off you're essentially paying to the bank. Then once it's paid off you still pay taxes and they'll take that shyt and throw you in jail if you don't pay up. The ownership scam brehs pay into it until you're to old and end up dying in that shyt making it an over priced coffin

i wouldn't trade owning my home for anythingi have a yard, i built a fire pit, i built a garden and grow flowers and vegetables. i used to have a pitbull and a GF in a 2BR and no space and now i have a giant basement full of music gear and golf stuff and all kinds of shyt. i mean i'm going to have this place paid off in 14 years and by then i'll be 46
but then i'll sell it and buy another one.

For yall doing well in home ownership, how many of you live in black communities?![]()

I know exactly how much is paid in taxes where I live, because I pay them
ive taken the time to calculate, that it would cost the about the same to rent a room here year round, as it would to pay the annual taxes..
once again, the point of the thread was that all these people claiming to "own" a home.. DON'T
either the bank really owns it and you're paying on it, or the government will come and take it as soon as you can't afford the taxes. that's not true ownership
*raises hand*

Rule 1 of real estate:
Location, location, location.

Right...the financial system is designed for the advancement of educated risk takers for the enlargement of the market in general. A cat that takes an ARM loan and flips the home during the low fixed rate period and sells for a profit will easily be able to repeat the same steps for continued profit. But most people don't take risks and would rather have a 30 year death plan at a fixed rate...and with credit averages today that rate isn't great. There's a proper way to approach this system for guaranteed successmost people don't care about anything but the interest rate on a fixed 30 year…thats all they hear because of advertising
thats why its situational on if you should own a home…most people close and just make their payment
the people who keep up with ARMSs, interest only loans, taking advantage of equity etc…. usually are successful in life and most of the time are the people paying off their homes hate to say that but its true lol

when i mention ARMs..they don't realize they getting killed on a 30 year fixedlol faxBreh not on Long Island the taxes alone got you in a choke hold
Truthfully, you shouldn't own a home unless you have a retirement package and/or ownership in a business. At least an LLC.yea dog new jersey is crazy i don't see how those people do it
they always go crazy when i tell them what people pay in other states
. With arms...the best thing to do IMO is ensure the area you're buying in has a stable value property wise, first, make sure it has good resale ability, and keep good credit to ensure the rate you're paying is low...add in a decent rehab crew (maybe family) and you got yourself a viable house flip biz
