I Paid Off My Home Now I’m Panicked

[@jeromesand]

I paid up all my mortgages in 2yrs while working with a Financial Adviser. I’m 50 and my husband 54 we are both retired with over $3 million in net worth and no debts. We got to realize that the secret to financial freedom is making better investments.

[@BrianJason-d3s]

If anything, the situation will worsen. Affordable housing will soon become unaffordable. Therefore, I advise taking action now, as today's prices will seem low compared to the future. Until the Fed takes more stringent measures, I anticipate widespread hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't remove the band-aid halfway.

[@DerraKormino]

Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

[@RyanOliver-j6d]

I will be happy getting assistance and glad to get the help of one, but just how can one spot a reputable one?

[@DerraKormino]

Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Sophia Maurine Lanting” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.

[@bigd4366]

At age 55, by the numbers, she *is* behind where somebody at that age should be. However, she still has a job, it just isn't paying much right now. It should be a concern, but *not* a reason to panic. If she were to give up on working altogether, *then* her numbers would be an issue (although as others have pointed out, we don't know the value of her house, and downsizing and moving to a cheap state/neighborhood could possibly even get her by for the rest of her life; we just don't have that information). At any rate, her situation is 3.6 Roentgen: not great, but not terrible.

She can invest so much of that 300k! Once she gets her income back up and she takes a breath, she can more accurately decide how much to keep in emergency fund. Maybe 12 months. Not 300k.

My husband passed away last year and that was one of the first things I did was pay off my house much to the dismay of the bank and my husband' CEO who wanted me to invest the money which didn't make sense to me nothing was going to pay as high a interest rate as the mortgage interest rate was. I am loving having no bills, everything including my car is paid off which is exactly what my husband wanted me to do. Anna In Ohio

[@johnhwang339]

In order to break even with the returns on investments vs paying interest on the mortgage, one has to get an even higher return from the investments due to taxes. Paying off the house is a guarantee savings. Investing doesn't guarantee and has downside risk. One should choose what to do based on risk tolerance.

It’s crazy how many people think having a paid off house is stupid.

So I sold EVERYTHING in California and bought a home with cash in Tennessee. The number of friends and acquaintances who told me I was stupid for doing that is insane, but I had no other option, I couldn’t get a loan, and what they failed to account for is that I was looking at leaving a six figure job to start over with zero income... Turned out the bank was right not to give me money, I was making like, hundreds of dollars per month right after the move. But I ate beans, drove the 10 year old Kia, and got through it- I never lost a night of sleep. If I’d gotten a mortgage I’d have an ulcer and probably a foreclosure by now. Today my income is decent and growing, same with my savings, and I know that if I needed to I could work at McDonalds to feed my kids because I don’t owe anyone anything.

It's because they hear people saying it is smarter to continue having low interest debts. I would say there are definitely times when low interest debt can be helpful depending on the long term goals but I personally think 0 debt helps too - especially when it comes to peace of mind.

That financial advisor is wrong, plain and simple. She has close to a half million in cash/investments, owns a house without a mortgage, and has no dependents. The house is almost certainly worth more now than when she bought it. As long as she does not do anything dumb (invest in something risky, take out another mortgage on the house), she should be fine.

It's definitely alarming to hear about a default cycle, especially in the context of the housing market. Defaults can lead to foreclosures, and that has a cascading effect on the overall real estate landscape.

[@ryan_dylan6650]

While it's concerning, it's important to look at the broader economic context. A default cycle doesn't necessarily mean the housing market is completely finished; it might signal challenges, but markets are dynamic, and they can recover.

[@debroahmorrow5919]

But if more people are defaulting on their mortgages, doesn't that mean home values could plummet?

[@JosephMcEntee99]

Yes, that's a possibility. An increase in foreclosures can lead to an oversupply of homes in the market, putting downward pressure on prices. It's the basic principle of supply and demand.

[@Elina_H]

[@christersmith5470]

I’ve met several financial advisors that act like this guy if you choose to pay off long term debt instead of investing in the stock market. My biggest thing with a mortgage is if you can’t make the payments (unemployment, medical, etc), the bank just got a property for less than its current value and your equity is gone. If you pay it off, you can move it into a trust or LLC to rent to yourself and all maintenance, repairs, and new appliances are now tax deductible. The party that benefits the most from your mortgage is the lien-holder. Not you.

[@joshuahulce5630]

If you own a house you should be wise enough to sell it if you can no longer make the mortgage payment rather than letting the bank take it back from you. At least by selling it you'd get some of the equity in cash.

I don’t understand why ppl say a million is not enough. Forget the interest. Even if you withdraw the principal every month for twenty years, that equates to 50,000 per year for twenty years. So, a 65 year old can easily make it to 85. This is not even counting social security. Most ppl don’t make past 85 anyway.
