Topic: Home owner master race
Anonymous A started this discussion 11 years ago #42,032
Who here fully owns their own home or has a morgage? I'm an owner of a 2 bed flat in east London that I got for £190,000 now worth well over £250,000 in a 2 year period. Feels good being a home owner master race. Hope rent prices keep rising.Anonymous B joined in and replied with this 11 years ago, 31 minutes later[^] [v] #558,408

Just be happy for your own good fortune, instead of trying to curse of everyone else.

i did, well, i owned a condo. sold it during the big condo boom in uptown. made a little money on it too, which is nice. i renovated it while i was there which was expensive, but i did make all my money and then some. mostly i sold it because not only was it at a good selling price, but they were starting a 5 year construction project on the highway between my old condo and where i work. it was going to turn a 15 minute commute into an hour or more. so, i sold it off.
luckily the condo market dropped out and prices fell, i likely would have been stuck still in an overpriced undervalued property much too newly renovated to sell at a reasonable cost. so, i got out when the getting was good.
it was also way more work than i wanted to do again, the whole renovating it thing, and so i was looking for condos for a while up north but everything is still pretty over priced. actually the housing market may be better now, idk, i quit paying attention. for a while i was dead set against buying again unless i was getting married because in general the demographic is different. more families and retirees, really. my old condo was actually near a late night hot spot kinda area with a lot of bars and clubs so most of my neighbors there were young singles or unmarried couples which was perfect.
fuck a house though, i spent a couple of years looking at houses and pretty much everything is just in a subdivision, and i guess it never occurred to me that they are fucking ubiquitous. and they are nothing but old people and families and i would rather kill myself than be single and living in a subdivision. fucking mowing my lawn and shit, fuck that noise. that's a lifestyle you choose as far as i'm concerned.
i'm much more of a condo/apartment person. and i do like being able to just call maintenance and have them come fix something rather than go to home depot and buy what-the-fuck ever thing i need to spend 3 hours installing. i'm trying to work my way up to one of those fancy apartment condos with a concierge desk and like elevators and shit. that's like the best of apartment/hotel living without any of the inconvenience of home or condo ownership. they have on site maintenance like apartments and a concierge like a hotel. swanky.
but, fucking not cheap. i feel that i am on a career path that'll eventually get me there, so until then i'll live in apartments in between owning and renovating condos periodically.
oh, unless i get married and then my life is over and i'll be living in a suburb somewhere, but, then i'll probably have kids who'll end up doing the chores i hate anyway, so, that could work out as long as i only have to fuck with a yard for a few years.

I own my own home. It's worth $250k and I paid 20% deposit on it.. I'm hoping to have it paid off in 10 years or less, at the rate I'm going I should have it paid off in 5. Then it will be my rental property and I'll buy a nicer place without over extending myself with debt.
Well, thats the plan anyway.

I plan to move out of London in a few years and use the rental I get from this place to pay my morgage off and give me a lil extra income.
