One thing you forgot to consider was that the person who makes the 20% down payment can invest the $500 they save every month on the mortgage payment and the $200 they save on PMI. The present value of those 360 $500 investments and 130 $200 investments at 8% annual returns is $85,495, which completely offsets the extra $82,500 you get when going for the 3.5% down payment. tl;dr using the proper math, you won't gain anything using this strategy, and will expose yourself to more market risk in the process.

The problem with this is that putting that 20% down payment in is a guaranteed return. Investing in the s&p 500 has a compounded annual growth rate (cagr) of 10.5% over the last 30 years but there is a lot of volatility in between that time. Sure if you hold this downpayment money you saved as an investment in the S&P 500 for the long term you will make more money. Although, making the home payment every month lower, and not paying pmi, is most likely worth it for most people as it is a guaranteed return, and having to pay less every month as well also helps with your monthly expenses being less.

[@AgnotologyTV]

No.... no it isn't. If you can afford either payment, it makes sense short term to let your money make you money. It is a liquid asset, which means you have created something you can use for future expenses, including the loan if need be. If your time frame is 30 years, you use the consistent long term gains in the stock market to invest your liquid capital to earn you more money, while still keeping it liquid. In 12 years, you will have that 30 year mortgage paid off entirely. And you can spend the next 18 investing 3.2k a month and have 1.9 million dollars in liquid capital to retire luxuriously or make further investments. Here's a fun number for you. Put $20 a week into the same situation when you are 18. Invest it. Don't touch it. 50 years later, when you are retired at 68 you will have 1.5 million dollars.

Not everyone's jobs are secure. So when the economy shifts, and they are out of said job, they have no cash to make those monthly payments and the whole stack of cards collapses. Our entire economy is built on the back of debt. If people can't service their debt, the entire economy collapses, which again, happens every 10 years or so.

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Very well said!

[@AgnotologyTV]

The logic falls apart when you are applying average middle class income to upper middle class homebuying. You are talking about someone making 40-80k a year. We are talking about someone making 200k+ a year in this hypothetical. Do you not understand how stock investments work? That the money put in is liquid, and can be converted back to cash at any time? Possibly at a loss if you take it out during a hard hit to the market, but no amount of advice will help someone who has all their proverbial eggs in one basket. You are making an argument against yourself and you don't even realize it. If they are out of a job, their only lifeline till they get a new one is their savings. And If you have money in a savings account, It is actively bleeding 8.2% a year right now just to inflation. You are better off having that money in a place where it can actually earn. If you are out a job for long enough to burn through your savings, you are losing your house regardless.

[@BigPulleyPapi]

@@AgnotologyTV Let me reiterate what you just said to me. You said my logic only works when we are talking about average middle class people who make 80k or less, which is more than 80% of the population, but doesn't apply to people who make 200k a year, which represents less than one percent.... when this video did not specify any income group at all, and you're saying "we" as if you work on the channel..

How will the owner of the property accept these discrete chunks of line of credit you agree on paying him? Wouldnt he want all of his money upfront? Or is it possible to apply for all the 14 lines of credit at once

[@TheLreez]

1) Don't use this trick to buy a house you can't actually afford. Make sure you can afford the monthly payments first. 2) This only works when % return from investment is more than % interest on your mortgage. Assuming 10% returns might be a bit optimistic, but regardless, the interest rate right now is maybe 8%. If it goes much higher, this is no longer a good idea even in theory. 3) Putting up a larger down payment and investing the difference in monthly payments in stock ALSO makes you a millionaire. ~1.1Mil vs ~1.4Mil, so it's less money, but still a millionaire.

[@ObinnaWGMI]

This advice really depends on your current position. If the monthly payment is still below 34% of your income, then you’re okay. Money suffers from time decay, so the borrowed amount is affected by inflation during the lifetime of the debt. Across 25/30 yrs, that’s nothing and if the place is being bought in a new city that property hasn’t been massively inflated. Yeah you can lose your job, but again you can always sell the house. Look to live in a place for at least 5 yrs and you’d have some equity in the house. All these better than renting a place and paying off someone else’s mortgage. Buy a place and pay for it across 5 yrs minimum and sell. Versus renting a place for 5 yrs and having nothing

Having 7% will only change your payment a couple 10s of dollars

[@TheUrbanOrganism]

Another approach: Put the extra cash into an offset account (if available). These are like savings accounts that offset the interest on your mortgage so long as you keep the money there, very common in Australia where I live and invest. I’m at the beginning of a new rental property loan and right now every $1 put in early equates to approx $3 in interest savings over the life of the loan, guaranteed, a 300% return! Hard to find a mutual fund that matches that return in the immediate, certain way of the offset. IMO, always good to put down the minimum, then drop a bunch of cash on the loan in the early years when your payments are mostly interest.

Househacking 🙌🏻☺️

[@unlazyfree]

You waive PMI once you reach 80% LTV. Also, when you have an FHA loan, you have MIP, not PMI. MIP is paid through a slight increase in your interest rate, PMI is paid through monthly premiums. If you have MIP, the waiver process is different than PMI (pmi is on conventional loans with less than 20% down as a ratio of LTV, MIP is fha loans) I worked in escrow admin years ago so i know this.

After reading comment I realized why only a handful of people are rich af. Because majority of people want to play on the safe side and doesn’t know about the leverage. That way you can not only invest in stocks or other night return investment but also can buy more homes with more cash flows. But you must know what you are doing. I have been doing this way and now I owned multiple properties and am having tenents paying down my mortgages every month. Smart money comes to smart people.

[@seanlovesrealestate]

This is actually true. I appreciate you sharing!

[@FactStorm]

A rule of thumb is to always complete amortization as fast & as soon as possible. Also, if you can put down the 20% minimum, then do so to avoid PMI. The scenario in the video didn't mention Capital Gains Tax on stock market returns.

[@MrACSRC]

Depending on your level of risk appetite. If you want to buy a property (to live in, in this scenario) and invest in shares etc, you carry a lot of risk of one failing affecting your ability to finance the other. Because ur primary goal should be to build capital here, you stand to lose too much if the stock market tanks and / or interest rate shoots up like it is now and you'd be forced to liquidate one or both asset. However, if you're investing in a rental property, it'd be smart to be negatively geared, and invest your cash in shares rather than putting it towards the loan. The risk here is lower because you're mainly investing, rather than building capital. Assuming you already have equity in another property that you live in, you wouldn't be too fussed about short term stock market dips or interest rate rises, provided you're not overly negatively geared. Edit: disclaimer: I'm not a financial advisor and this is not financial advice. General personal view only. Please see a professional financial advisor for advice tailored to your own circumstances.

[@uria702]

In that case, I would put 5% down and use the rest to renovate the house and make improvements. You’ll get another appraisal and the equity will be over 20% so your PMI will be gone

[@WisdomKepper]

Renovations barely add any value to a home. A couple grand if that. Expansions/extensions increase the value.

[@Mark-ye9pi]

Terrible thought process. If you invest your down payment money and go with the 3.5% option you should end up with $1M+ after at least 20yrs or so. That $2,900 mortgage is due next month though and the bank is immediately cashing out on all that interest and insurance. Your benefit is coming in 20yrs and you’re paying for it all in the present.

[@jamesking2530]

It works if you can financially afford the $2,990 per month and have say a 6 month saving buffer for those payments as a safety net and then the money in stocks just gets left there and not touched for anything. But if you can’t afford that, this is too risky. But if you can’t do that it’s not logical at all.
