Investing in property is a meme

If this guy just left his retirement fund in global markets he’d still be getting a return/income from his investment


Instead he choose to buy a investment property with the fund and now doesn’t even get any income from it and can’t even evict the tenant because of covid


Property investment is a fucking meme

Pretty sure Centrelink is Australia.

The status on letting people with housing benefits in the UK is currently an ongoing legal debate. In practice though, I think you'll find that most landlords and housing agencies avoid housing benefit claimants by indirect means (i.e. some of ground than being on benefits).

I never get why landlords avoid housing benefit claimants. The money is guaranteed to be paid since the tenant has no access to the housing benefit themselves.

I take it they think the tenant will trash the property in some way likely being a low class person.

>> No.25277295

>>25277067
It's something to that effect.

The fact that they make the effort and cost of avoiding claimants, despite a guarantee of rent and reducing sharply the number of potential renters that there's a tradeoff that simply makes it not worth it. I'm doubtful its personal gripe against single mothers, but something that, statistically, claimants are more likely to do than private renters.

I believe him. My parents rent a house to the same family for 16 years now and they currently pay $1750/month and average rental for a house like that in the area is a little over $2200/month now.

The agents who manage the property for my parents have told them several times they could be getting much more, and that they should up the rent to match the median for the area. My parents refuse to though.

It’s going more and more towards this in many countries now. I could have invested in property but I can’t be fucked dealing with the human side of it, which with leftism on the rise, you’re going to see more and more power to the renters and less for landlords.

I just invest in the global markets across 1000s of companies, it’s a faceless investment that requires no interactions with people at a personal level, and it’s not something the governments can just cuck, because it’s globalised and diversified.

Think of it like this. If you own a share of 1000 properties all over the world, if in a bunch of countries (say 20%) leftist take over and cuck landlords, you at least still have 800 of your 1000 properties that you own a small share in still paying you dividends. But if you just bought 1 or 5 investment proprieties in the 1 country that cucked landlords, you’re shit out of luck.

That’s why I don’t invest in property and never will.

Real estate is only an asset if it makes you money and a lot of cases it takes money from you so no, it's a liability

>> No.25282937

>>25276466
As with anything it's about timing the market right. Sometimes real estate is a better investment than most other things, sometimes it's not. It's certainly a low risk investment with a near guaranteed return that will out pace inflation.

Me, I bought a house 3 years ago which has appreciated more than 20% since. That's not bad. However, I sold $40,000 worth of stock to make the down payment and that stock would have been worth well over $1MM right now. Would I have held? Who knows.

I can tell you one thing. Buying a house has ensured that I'm not throwing money into a fire every month, which is what renters do. Let's say you pay $2,000/mo. If you're paying $2,000/mo towards your house and have a standard 30 year fixed mortgage, at least SOME of that will always go towards your principal and you are actively investing and the asset is appreciating. Or, you can give $2,000/mo to a landlord who is paying off their mortgage with it while you get nothing.

Despite the opportunity cost that I clearly suffered by pulling funds out of the stock market, I have zero regret about buying a house. I like knowing some of my cost of housing is going to ME.

Property will be shaky until we see the post COVID, immigration, and employment landscape. However property can be a good investment, one benefit is it’s easier to see the state of the market in any regions, just look at rental costs, average time on market and property prices. Buying some nice serviceable properties in an up and coming area will generally be safer than some other investment S.
