I would recommend buying whatever house for yourself that you want and then letting someone else buy the other house instead of perpetuating the slumlord culture and making housing unaffordable for anyone other than the top 10%

You’re wrong about me. I’m white, from a middle class family. I don’t want a house due to “perceived belonging”. I want it so that in 30 years I’m not paying $10k/month to rent an awful 2 bd apartment, because that’s what life is if you don’t buy a house.
I’d recommend buying a $2M house for yourself and a $1M house for investment.
Listen, and pls take this seriously. Don’t buy, rent modestly. Spend the 3 million on rentals out of state that produce cash flow. In 7-10 years, build a $5M home that would be paid for by the cash flow from your portfolio.
But that’s going to take a lot of work to invest on rentals, right? I have 2 young kids and don’t have more bandwidth.
A few questions and comments.
- Is there a reason you want to tie up this cash only in real estate?
- if you have funds like this, I'm sure you have liquid assets somewhere but, need to ask, do you have your emergency fund fully funded and high interest debt taken care of?
- Not all real estate makes sense for investment.
- have you thought about out of state investing? Maybe get a small portfolio in the south or Midwest
- why not just buy a house you practically need, live within your means and invest the rest? Not necessarily in real estate
Maybe I should have mentioned my situation for clearer context. I live in a $1M house now, and we need an upgrade, because the current one is too small for my kids. I’m debating with selling my current one and buy a $3M house vs keeping my current one as an investment and buy a $2M house for us to live in.
Get two 1M dollar homes instead of one 2M home. Cheaper homes appreciate faster
If you can afford a 3M house and need a house that big then go for it. From a financial investment standpoint , it will mostly likely not be the most optimal but not everything needs to be geared to optimize financial outcomes.
Don’t know your full financial picture but $1m house and 2m as house investment , feels like a lot to tie up in real estate . If you go down this path , I would look at your asset allocation and be comfortable with your %assets in Real estate . I am big proponent of have a asset allocation and sticking with it.
