If you're rich its so easy to get richer

Literally if you come from wealth you can immediately drop it into dividend stocks and be set for life.

Alternatively you could buy tons of rental properties and get rich.

Even if you don't want to do that, you can just invest in your appearance and make youtube/instagram videos all day showing off your shit/vacations/clothes/cars and get tons of followers/subscriptions, and get set just from the ad money and youtube money.

Its SO EASY to make money when you have money. Its fucking hard to make money when you have no money. If you're a richfag who hasn't tripled your wealth, you are a genetic failure.

Just hit 100k nw after 3.5 years of working, but real estate is pricey in my area. $400k+ if I want to move 45 minutes away from work, minimum $500k+ for a small 3 bedroom if near work, and all the condo fees are retardedly expensive when I'm renting for less than half the condo fee + mortgage. With interest rates rising and a potential crash coming (I'm a leaf and we didn't crash in 2008) I'm wary of going that much into debt.

Most of my money is in a "high risk" mix of stocks/etfs/indexfunds/bonds, and some crypto. I want to have enough money to quit working as soon as possible for that neet life, but at this rate I'd have to work for another 20 years. I think I'd need crypto to hit new ATHs or for one of my side businesses to take off to retire before then.

Any ideas how I can make it earlier?

Condo fees almost always include water/trash/sewer and exterior maintenance, exterior maintenance being the thing that eats most new home owners alive. The fees are actually a pretty good deal once you learn all the headaches about owning a stand alone house.

I wouldn’t recommend purchasing anything above a 2 bedroom as a first property, especially if you intend to rent it out at some point. Get a 1br or studio and rent it out to wage slave bachelors like OP because he’s never there to put wear and tear on the unit.

>Condo fees almost always include water/trash/sewer and exterior maintenance, exterior maintenance being the thing that eats most new home owners alive. The fees are actually a pretty good deal once you learn all the headaches about owning a stand alone house.
Cheapest condo in my city is $150k for 600sqft and the condo fees are $600 a month. In the area similar rooms are renting for $750/month.
So for $150k in opportunity cost, I could at most get $150/month. Any repairs/damage would come right out of that. It's an older building so condo fees could raise drastically too.
It's only worth it if rent keeps up with the condo fees and if it appreciates in value by the time I sell it. It's a college town so there's plenty of people looking for at least 8 months of the year, but they're probably not the best tenants. All that being said, I'm not convinced that my location is a good investment.

Hmm I don't want to live in a shit tier 3rd world country though. There are a lot of concerns with making a move like that too
- how difficult is it to move there legally with a visa
- language barriers and different values
- low cost of living generally means high poverty and crime, both things I want to avoid
- how corrupt are the police/people, I hate bribes, scammers, and pick pockets
- standard of living, I want to be at least as good as I have it now with inexpensive gigabit internet speeds with no caps, ubereats or similar service from a good variety of restaurants, etc.
- inflation is a big one, might be a low cost of living at first but after 5 or 10 years, their local inflation might be lower than where you're invested so eventually you'll lose your purchasing power until you can no longer live there.

I think ideally I'd want to go to a low cost of living medium sized leaf city. Or maybe US but I can't immigrate to the US easily.

>$150k opportunity cost
It’s more like $40k opportunity cost because you are financing most of that $150k. Your profit calculation isn’t as simple as the over/under on your rent/mortgage ratio. You can have a mortgage that’s higher than your rental income and still make a profit, it’s just all in the principal on the loan. You typically won’t see a “profit” in the way you describe it for a few years till rent hikes catch up with your mortgage and ideally if it’s your first property you should be living there during that appreciation period to offset the hit.

leaf prices so it's more like $460USD https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/20155779/1-bedroom-condo-705-64-benton-street-kitchener

Hypothetically 20% down, financing it at 3.29% (lowest I could find) makes it a $586/month, +$613 condo fee = $1199/month. When rent in the area is around $750 you're essentially paying an extra $500/month to own it (plus the opportunity cost of the down payment).
>You can have a mortgage that’s higher than your rental income and still make a profit, it’s just all in the principal on the loan
That's assuming the value of the property appreciates.
>You typically won’t see a “profit” in the way you describe it for a few years till rent hikes catch up with your mortgage
Assuming that rent will increase faster than condo fees. Considering it's an older build, that's a risky decision. Rent prices in the area could drop as well in a bad economy, but I admit that's not as common.

I popped all the variables into https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/buy-rent-calculator.html and assumed I stayed for 25 years, and default values for everything else, it's saying it's better to rent if I can find a place for less than $841. Goes into the $900s if I bump up the investment returns because index funds show 8% long term returns before inflation.
Only way I come out ahead is if rents skyrocket in the area or if I get lucky with appreciating values.

no, actually. when looking at condo's i assume little to no appreciation. condo's are low barrier of entry, low maintenance rental whores whos prices move very slowly compared to stand alone units.

>Assuming that rent will increase faster than condo fees.

condo fees don't just jump like that. your rate is typically locked in for quite a few years or if the HOA is good you are locked in till the unit changes hands. only mismanaged HOA's go year to year and you'll see entire buildings go on the market when that happens. read the HOA docs.

>https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/buy-rent-calculator.html

set your maintenance fee's lower because they sure as shit aren't going to be %1 on a condo

>index funds show 8% long term returns before inflation.

so you are close to discovering why real estate is attractive in the first place, because why invest in real estate when you can just buy REITs right? well, it turns out that a mortgage is probably the most favorable leverage the average retail investor can come up on. you also have the additional benefit of having a tangible, physical """"business"""" to charge expenses to, AKA a tax shelter that the S&P just can't match.

Wish I didn't stop giving a fuck after my gf dumped me

Make $250k/yr but shit credit because I ignored medical bills.

Got items on my credit report in collections. Less than a $1000 but there's a lot of them.

One is $17. Seventeen fuckin dollars.

I could have been dumping my savings into sweet sweet real estate instead I bought crypto and lost most of it and let my credit die. Fuck I'm dumb.

>You can have a mortgage that’s higher than your rental income and still make a profit, it’s just all in the principal on the loan
That's assuming the value of the property appreciates.
>no, actually. when looking at condo's i assume little to no appreciation. condo's are low barrier of entry, low maintenance rental whores whos prices move very slowly compared to stand alone units.
How are you making a profit on the principal when its seeing no appreciation and when your mortgage is higher than the rental income?
i.e. you're paying $1200/month, renter is paying $750. You're essentially investing $500 on your own money into it.
Unless it sees appreciation, how are you profiting? Unless you're thinking after the mortgage is paid off, by renting it out it's profit? That's a very very long term play, assuming a 25 year mortgage, you won't be seeing returns for ~40 years, plus even longer for any upkeep or maybe a bit shorter from inflation.

>condo fees don't just jump like that. your rate is typically locked in for quite a few years or if the HOA is good you are locked in till the unit changes hands. only mismanaged HOA's go year to year and you'll see entire buildings go on the market when that happens. read the HOA docs.
Locked in until you get a nice surprise special assessment and you end up randomly owing $20k or more, there's some nightmare scenarios that a lot of people don't see coming.
I for one am not experienced enough to know a good HOA from a bad one.

leverage is only beneficial if the asset increases. And like with all leverage there's the risk that it doesn't appreciate.
I do agree that tax shelter is advantageous compared to other asset classes, but that only takes you so far when the asset themselves are overpriced.

>How are you making a profit on the principal when its seeing no appreciation and when your mortgage is higher than the rental income?

because your tenant is not only paying all interest and HOA fees (which are tax deductible to you btw) but they are ideally matching or exceeding your contribution to the principle of the loan, that contribution of course is dependent upon where you are at in the amortization schedule but you get the idea. from a very cursory review of your example property and taking your word that $750 is indeed what you could get out of that place, its pretty much right on the cusp of profitability which means to me that there should be something in the neighborhood that's a more profitable buy. also remember that the price of a unit is not fixed and is entirely negotiable, you could come back in 90 days when that example place is still on the market and lowball the owner with an offer of $120k. please note that i'm not saying that unit is a good buy, i'm merely working with the example youve given me.

now, i assume no appreciation in property values, but i do assume rent hikes, however, and would ask you when the last time your landlord lowered your rent. property values and rental prices are correlated but not coupled entirely.

sure, condos in the city in the gentrified part of town instead of in the hood or saturated suburbs. that's probably the safest bet when the panic sets in, but it'll be a bumpy ride regardless. and lenders won't just lend to any HOA, there's certification and underwriting done on the HOA if it isn't already approved by them. either way housing it's not the golden goose it used to be. we shouldn't be keeping it on a pedestal, there's not enough space for everyone to each own a good property.

I'm actually a mid-level analyst at a major lender. I can see why you think I might be the average weak-hander but I assure you that isn't the case. I could buy property if I wanted to but I choose not to because I can see the writing on the wall. every new change to credit policy and the growing market share of non-banks is leading us into a new crisis faster and faster. no one seems to care though and just continues to FOMO buy while exchanging buzzwords and talking points with each other around rates and fed policy. I don't know when the floor will fall out, but it won't be pretty. americans will begin to feel it soon though when taxes can't be cut majorly again.
