Anyone else buying as many homes as they can? My neighbor owns blocks in queens and I’ve seen what this sort of investment can do in 50 years. If there’s going to be housing inequality I want to be on the good side of it.

anyone that comes on here and says real estate is too hot. Ignore them. Buying properties and holding on to them forever is basically the easiest way to get rich. trust me im worth about 3.50$

Guess I'm the contrarian. I'm going the other way and disposing my properties acquired post housing crash into recent bubbly strength.

When everyone thinks real estate is the obvious get rich quick scheme, it's time to sell

It's better to be a year early than a day late in real estate. It's not a liquid asset

Bought a multi-unit four years ago and my equity has grown by almost 5x ($36k -> $170k)

Bought a second lot in 2020 and my equity has almost doubled ($35k -> $60k).

Have $160K in stocks/crypto but goal is to continue expanding the real estate portfolio.

I love that this thread isn’t full of people saying “you’re contributing to the problem” 🙄 I bought my own home, and I’m looking at buying at least 1 more, but preferably a duplex, this year. Any tips on home buying programs for investment purposes? I was able to get down payment assistance for my own home but that’s only because I live in it.

But is anyone worried they are buying at the top of the market? I guess it doesn’t matter if you plan to hold forever.

D2 nailed it. If your time horizon is long enough, the market fluctuations aren’t an issue, generally speaking rents are only going to increase at or above the rate of inflation, and the payment on your note isn’t going to change. (Unless you’re an idiot and have an ARM, but that’s a whole other discussion)

Serious question. I have substantial assets in the stock market, and looking to diversify into a few properties. My advisor told me if I want to buy investment properties, I can take out a Loan Managed Account (LMA) using my assets to back the loan, with a 1% interest rate. This allows me to keep earning on my stock investments while also dabbling in real estate at a low interest rate. This seems too good to be true. Anyone know more?

Isn't this just a margin loan? IBKR allows you to withdraw $ against your account at any time. Their rates are ridiculously low (1.5% I think?)

Anyone have any thoughts or feedback? We’ll have to live on a budget and watch but I feel we’ll get used to it and income will grow.

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:

- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?
