That 2009 period was when my Tracie used her home equity money and bought a few condos in Hayward way cheaply when others couldn’t get loans due to some issues with HOA or something like that. Made out huge…

Don’t worry, this time it’s different.

That is why I am not taking cash out refinance from the fully paid homes using 30 year fixed mortgage.

Yes, is a different group of people :slight_smile: who would have to sell their houses cheap :rofl:

Was he telling seriously? I thought he is joking !!

That is not a great part of Santa Clara. There’s a 7-11right there oh Lafayette. Next to it are a bunch of sketchy looking apartments that aren’t maintained very well.

Correct. And yet that part of Santa Clara is now selling at 600$/sq ft.

Real estate is lower, like bonds, than stocks. BA growth rate is appx 5% - 7% YOY (with all Ups and Downs).

Is rental yield higher than sp500 dividend yield?

Assume sp500 yield at 1.8% and BA rent yield appx 3%, still stocks are greater than real estate
