Exactly my sentiments. Too many people are involved in RE… a waste of intellectual capacity.
Stocks will appreciate more than homes for sure. However, stocks are harder to leverage than homes, and they are also riskier. So there’s a downside to stocks.
Why won’t rentals beat inflation? They are better inflation beater than primary residences or vacation homes, since renters are paying for the upkeep for you.
Flipping gets helped less by inflation because the timeframe is very short. Flipping can be helped only by an improvement in the condition of the house.
You lose out everyday you don’t own a home. Do something!!! Buy a few condos in Vallejo and start collecting rent if buying a primary is too much of a burden.
Working on it, really
Work on that shuttle map while you are at it.
Why? Your next purchase is going to be a home a block away from the shuttle stop?
He’s looking to go back into workforce alright.
Really?
No shuttle stops in Bayview, Portola, nor excelsior…
Nothing in central or outer sunset either.
Being close to shuttle stops is a selling point. Investors need to do some homework. Thanks @zensri for the info!
ignorance is bliss. you were happier when you didn’t know. lol.
@manch not me. I already know all about shuttle stops as I used to take Apple shuttle from SF down to Cupertino everyday 10 years ago.
Yes I think that’s why they are not so expensive…yet.
Maybe this: Home - San Francisco NEW DEVELOPMENTS Didn’t verify the authenticity of those stop though.
From this map, which location should we buy? Seems mostly for tenants, not for homeowners
If you cut SF in half most of the stops are on the east side. The largest percentage is in Noe Valley. Next is Mission, and then Portrero Hills?
If you cut SF in half by the 280 and 101 line, there are virtually no shuttle stops in the Southeast. Avoid Bayview, Portola, and Excelsior.
