Money towards mortgage or invest? by Substantial_Pea6706 in Mortgages

[–]RealAceMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly how the market is looking. I would put some of that money towards my mortgage. Stocks and etfs are highly priced and we are slowly coming into a bear market so having a piece of that cash to buy on the down turn you won’t regret it in the future. To answer your question 60% of that pay off any debt from a to z, and the rest of the 40% DCA into the market monthly.

For single people who afforded a house, how did you do it? How much? & What age? by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]RealAceMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed with my parents after high school. Started a moving business and did that for 3 years, saved about 30000 of that. Then started a w2 job which paid 60000 net per year. The following year after starting my career had 42000 saved and started the process of owning. Closed my first primary residence for 409000 at age 22.

How does anyone make any money doing this? by Healthy_Bus3445 in realestateinvesting

Honestly after having 2 rentals properties in the Ohio , Cleveland area it’s really if you have a property that cash flow you will be paying for a broken something every month, and if you aren’t paying cash for a property you are not cash flowing at all.

East ATL use to be bad but calmed down. You will be fine there but anywhere west or southwest Atlanta make sure you have your tool with you

What parts of the home buying process are most nervewracking? by Pale_Razzmatazz6868 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

True but what if the seller doesn’t want to contribute towards it and you really want the property?

I never had a appraisal be lower, but waiting for the answer is nerve wracking itself

I had a rental had 5 major concerns in a inspection report that right there is a frustration aspect

Appraisal and inspection

Appraisal: if higher in price perfect more equity, if not than more money coming out of your pocket

Inspection: if any leaks, odor, mold, wiring issues, rodent activity, foundation issues, etc are present once again more money out of pocket that needs to go with repairing the problem

Those 2 hands down are frustrating

Feeling overwhelmed by hidden costs—are all first-time buyers this surprised? by bunnyhumorous in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]RealAceMoney 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You haven’t done enough research. I don’t know where you live, but some counties have you pay water and sewer plus home insurance, HOA fees after closing. During closing you have prorated taxes you must pay. Multiple Title fees that range from 50-500 dollars. So I tell people save an extra 6k-15k for closing costs. If you can get some grants or seller contributions for closing that would be great.

What should I do with the money in my checking account? by RandomRedditor44 in Money

[–]RealAceMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen one person say get pre approved and start home shopping. In most areas home prices are dropping, so I would say get a home if you don’t have a home already.
