Raleigh has 300k people has major tech and medical companies and institutions such as Duke, Oracle, and Dell for starters.
Also if you're spending $5k a year on fixing your house your name must be Hank Hill or you bought a POS.
Additionally people buying houses here aren't making $31k, they're making $70+ because they work in IT.
That pic is a terrible example, I have a 2 floor 3bed 2.5bath for $214k 4 years ago and equity went up $30k. $20k downpayment and $1300 month on mortgage. I don't even spend enough on utilities and groceries to care how much they cost. If you go to NYC, la, SF your rent is $1500 shared butthole closet in the ghetto.

This house would cost about $32,136.00 per year to live in.

That's $967.00 per year than the average income. And that's not even subtracting the state income and federal taxes one would have to pay on their $31,169 salary.

Are you the same anon thats been posting threads about housing all this week? Havent you come to the realization that Amerrica is a slave country?

America is the biggest slave country in the world. We like to think we are free, but its the exact opposite. Americans are competing with the Japanese as like, the hardest working 1st world country. People are expected to work 50+ hours a week, every day, except the weekend.

Just take that in. Thats literally 75%+ of your time is spent working. And our boomer parents actually think this is healthy. They think its fucking healthy to be spending the vast majority your time working. This is both a monetary and cultural thing. You are expected to work regardless if you have the money or not.

The ONLY EXCEPTION is if you own your own business. Its the only way out of the system. Which is why they have so many barriers for Small businesses. They dont want you off the plantation.

Hey man I am all for hard work and being rewarded. But this is really no different from serfdom. The housing market is specifically set up to screw the population and make a few people rich, just like everything else in America.

Raleigh has the "research triangle" which inflates the prices. Still, this is comparable to the cost of living here in NJ, which houses usually go for $200-300k a pop unless you want to live in a shack.

It's like that across the nation in all areas where there is civilization.

Actually whoops, the prices here on average range for $200k on the low end to over a million if you want a very nice house in a very nice neighborhood. Yes its fucking ridiculous. Yes its slave labor.

Buying a house is literally one of the worst investments you could EVER do. Perhaps in the past it was great, like 200 years ago. With the government artificially keeping things afloat, its a losing battle. You are better off investing into the rental market instead because money comes in much quicker and its less risk.

that's a stupid stacy-tier approximation though because maintenance costs don't scale linearly with price. sounds like that dumb shit that says you should spend X amount of your salary on rent, or X month's salary on a diamond ring.

realistically, there are some invariant maintenance costs just with a house in general regardless of size i.e. your hvac unit. but if anything it should be modeled as a nearly flat rate and then a multiplier for square footage on top of that, but definitely not 1% of price.

price/sqft varies wildly and maintenance costs do not. plop the same unit in a major intown residential community vs out in the country and you're going to have a 3-4x price multiplier for the exact same lot/land.

For one, money itself. As the old saying goes, you need to have money in order to make money. With the advent of the internet, this has lessened a bit, but it still applies for the most part. You want to set up shop on main street? You need real estate, the very same market that affects your housing prices. You need inventory, you need product, or if you provide a service, you need people.

Now tell me how many people are living paycheck to paycheck?

But ok you say, I'm going to save up money! Ok, great. But first you're going to have to spend years paying off the college debt, right? Because you absolutely need to go to college right? Accumulate loads of debt for a piece of paper that tells other people how smart you are. This goes double for people in licensed professions.

Then theres the fact that you will have to file numerous paperwork with the government. Taxes, HR laws. "Diversity", "anti discrimination" laws. Every small business' bane. This is all a net drain on business. Want to hire people? Not to fast buddy. You want to scale? Not so fast. You have to pay the right people first.

This though I'd say it's even worse: hyperstagflation. Prices are high in some assets and services because the government can't price fix everything and their fudged economic data can only conceal so much. You don't have to look very hard to see the industries, services, and assets that reveal the truth about how bad things really are. Hint: a few of them are the ones people are always bitching about. Also unemployment is WAY fucking worse than official figures show.

Let's say you put down $90k (roughly 25%) and finance the other $260k. That gives you a mortgage payment of roughly $1,300 per month. Add another $550 or so for taxes, insurance, and maintenance. That's $1,850 cash flow you need to meet. I see other 3-bed houses in that neighborhood offered to rent for $1,900. That's your gross rent revenue (before allowing for vacancy expense, etc.). So, that's $50 per month profit on gross rent revenue. Probably not worth it. If you put down 50%, that pulls your outlay down to about $1,200. That gives you about $700 per month average cash flow before vacancy expense, but it means you're putting down $175k up front to get it. That's a little under a 5% rate of return (assuming no vacancy expense) ignoring any possible long term capital gain or loss. Meh. I can think of better places to put $175k.

You forgot another important thing. Only part of the mortgage payment is lost to paying the cost of interest. The part that goes to principal turns into equity, which can be cashed out once you sell the house. It is the more important part of your return on investment, when dealing with real estate.

For example, for your first figure, with 90k down payment, at the current big bank 30 year conventional mortgage interest rate of 4.25%. Your monthly payment is $1279 per monthly. After your stated $550 in taxes and other expenses, you have have a cashflow of $71.

Which is slightly under 1% return.

Now take a look at the equity side of things.

At that interest rate, assuming you hold the house for 30 years. You will have paid $460,455.74 in mortgage payment, of which $200,455.74 is to interest.

On average, you will get about $722 in equity each month, from the equity gained. Because of how amortization works, you don't get that evenly, it is more back end heavy.

Over a 30 year period, assuming the house never appreciated in value and the rent never increased. You will have a return of around 10.58%.

As someone who used to live there, it's comfy to be in Indiana, but in the worst way. Everyone is equally depressed, some become alcoholics or do opiates or other drugs. But for the most part it's peaceful and boring. I lived like there for nearly 10 years and I'm not even surprised about the fact that a good chunk of my graduating class that didn't move out of the state already died or offed themselves. If you like the comfortable embrace of malaise and death, Indiana is the perfect state for you. It's depression in the form of a state.

and the alternative to owning is renting so over those 30 years your rent will have risen 10 fold. Imagine what rent prices will be in 2049. MUCH higher than they are now, whereas a buyer is locked into $1300 rent over that 30 years and then pays no mortgage after that. Whereas a renter will always have rising rent. It doesn't make sense to rent
