The issue is that either the renter or the owner must in some way pay insurance and property taxes if they want a "permanent roof" with utilities like electricity, gas and water. Because of this, many people-at least in California, where I currently reside-are living in tents. No taxes, rent, mortgages, or insurance. The number of people who tell me they live in their car that I meet amazes me. Its crazy out here!

[@KarlyNoorda]

It’s getting wild by the day. The prices of homes are quite ridiculous and Mortgage prices has been skyrocketing on a roll(currently over 7%). Sometimes i wonder if to just invest my spare cash into the stock market and wait for a housing crash or just go ahead to buy a home anyways.

[@leojack9090]

I get such worries too. I'm 50 and retiring early. Already worried of the future and where its headed, especially in terms of financies and how to get by. I'm also considering making my first investment in the stock market, but how can I do so given that the market has been in a mess for the majority of the year?

[@hasede-lg9hj]

I stopped trying to predict market outcomes based on chart studying after 5 years of uncertainty. Not having a mentor caused me 5 years of pain. I learned to follow the market's direction and keep it simple with discipline.

[@hasede-lg9hj]

The advisor that guides me is Sharon Ann Meny, most likely the internet is where to find her basic info, just search her name. She's established.

[@fadhshf]

Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her résumé.

[@catherinerea3569]

My husband and I were fortunate enough to be able to pay off our mortgage early. We were both still working, and took the payment amount that we had been using to pay off our mortgage faster and we put it straight into investments. We were able to retire early because of almost 7 years of putting away what would have been our mortgage payment as well as maxing out our 401K/403B plans. Thankfully we were taught by both of our parents the value of living within our means. Thank you for your advice. I know it will help people. we are interested in investments that could set me up for retirement , I mean I've heard of people that netted hundreds of thousands during these crash, I listened to someone on a podcast who earned over $650K in less than a year, what's the strategy behind such returns?

[@ShukriVikas]

Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience.If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.

[@RomeoSfait]

Keeping money in the bank is like paying banks and the Govemment. Here's how it works: The bank gives out your money as loan, and charge interest obviously higher than inflation rate, and then give you, the depositor, interest lower than inflation rate. That means net loss for you. That is why I prefer to invest, and on average, my advisor makes returns that always beats inflation!

[@Otmangrey]

To be honest, I've been wary of banks for a while, but I wasn't sure how to speak with an advisor first. Please let me know who your adviser is if it's okay; I need some recommendations.

[@RomeoSfait]

Svetlana Sarkisian Chowdhury a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.

LOL, No broker is not worth it, because most of the properties are listed by Agents themselves, so you do end up working with a broker and paying brokerage

Yes. i agree. Title totally misleading. also there is no proper co-ordination with in their teams. the internal competition is so much, they blame each other and when there is a problem to sorted out, they literally say bad about their brokers, agents, and backend teams. very pathetic experience for 2 times so far.

[@hemanthkumar3097]

Well, please suggest what might work. I am in the process of starting a firm 😂

@Sharan, the least you could have said for courtesy's sake while sending them off (on video) is something like "I hope you will be able to tap into the other 97% of the market" or "Good luck with your future business". This is only a Gyan coming from me who genuinely felt that you goodbye'd them as soon as you had enough content for your video. Other than that, it was a great conversation. Thanks!

These guys jacked up the rents in bangalore by eliminating the market forces that regulated insatiable greed of landlords/sellwrs and expectations of renters/buyers. They say nobroker but recruit relationship manger who work as broker and charge for everything from property valuation to legal work just like brokers.

exactly dude i wrote the similar comment with some clean language and they deleted my comment and Shame on then

I was searching if someone comment on rental hike. Users in bangalore shared how nobroker removed broker but they promised owner more rental yield. Once it's go up,chance of coming down is less.

[@WalterWhite-og6wj]

Very bad advice of investment in Bangalore in intial few minutes. 1. Lack of water 2. Lack of Infrastructure 3. Companies have started migrating to tier 2 cities of India. Jaipur and Indore are examples. This will increase in future. 4. Sweet weather is gone. It is almost 40 degrees these days. 5. Many remote opportunities due to which less people are migrating than earlier which will suppress demand.

[@sapnakumari-ky8zn]

True still prices are rising. Don’t know why

[@WalterWhite-og6wj]

@@sapnakumari-ky8zn Due to black money. In India majority of black money is infused in reale estate that's why during property sell a seller always recommend to give at least 30-40% in cash.

These people such as NoBroker and now I believe Sharan too take commissions and cuts from builders such as DLF, Godrej, Vatika etc. to promote more and more house buying otherwise if people become smart & start to live on rent; then the sells will go less for these builders and eventually real estate market will be normalise with right & actual rates instead of too much hikes and cost which is going above the roof. Sad but its True that these folks will put logics and emotions to urge people to buy a house instead of living on rent peacefully without any stress of loan/emi and putting most of the money in one asset only.

[@shafique1]

The right question for discussion should be, "when" to put 1 cr in real estate instead of "where" to put ?

[@geetavengurlekar8912]

Depends how the ad is posted in their app..most sellers don't post all required photo and info. There is no way to ensure that ad is not posted by broker.

[@Whatreally123]

I bought my flat when I was 27 and closed off my entire loan by 32. Cost me 50 lacs including interiors. Right behind IIMB and one of the best areas in Bangalore. Not in a big apartment with lots of amenities but unlike those huge apartments, rooms are big (1550 sq ft carpet). Maintenance is low cos there are less houses. Huge open roads and everything within 5 mins walk. Supermarkets, BBMP office, hospitals, parks, playground. And once the metro is operational (1 km from my flat) prices will be quite good. We live in an independent house now and getting rent from my flat. I can sell it once metro is operational. I will be buying another flat soon for my later years as my current independent house will become too big to maintain.

[@smarlakunta]

The title and the content are not at all in place. Everyone, please be aware that there is vested interest. NoBroker now acts as CP (channel partner) for any builders, and they get a commission for conversions. And the guy said, except traffic, everything is fine in Bangalore. Common…., don’t mislead people. I don’t want to get into rent vs buy. But if you are sincere about purchasing a house for self-use, be fucking clear that it is a place where you and your family lives. So, traffic, clean air, water, open space, ventilation, all of these things matter !! And make sure you can afford the property. Being able to afford doesn’t mean, having money for down payments, thumb rule is even if your primary source of income goes away, you must be still able to pay your EMI, that is what affordability means. So, be wise and be practical.
