Thinking About Buying A Home In This Crazy Market? | Ep. 12 | The Best of The Ramsey Show

[@Blitcliffe]

I appreciate your approach to teaching.. To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough, we just need to hold onto our hopes and wait to see how things turn out because market movements are almost always unpredictable. In my portfolio, I'm noticing more red than green.

I feel like the real issue is being ignored. CALMING housing prices don’t change the fact that housing is over twice as expensive as what it was a few years ago, and wages have not increased. CALMING prices doesn’t help anyone

[@cerdafiedDeveloper]

Housing prices and interest rates make it much more difficult to buy a house especially on a 15 year fixed interest. I’d be lucky to find a box where I live in Illinois for anything less than $250K (living in a “ok” neighborhood). With todays rates the mortgage payment would be $1,900 which means I would need to make $7600 per month after taxes with 20% down using Dave’s advice of a mortgage payment no more that 25% of your after tax take home pay.

Date the rate, marry the principle. You can ALWAYS refi if and when rates drop again. You cannot change the purchase cost of your house. Take the 30yr fix, have a reduced monthly payment, pay extra per month when you can afford it and when rates drop, refi to a 15yr fix. It's not this complicated.

[@xfhnhhgjbvcfg]

I don't know if you can refinance when your house is underwater because you won't have the 20% equity I guess if you were to put a bunch more cash down you could

I feel like they always forget that the alternative to paying for a mortgage is paying for rent which, where I am, is often even more expensive, goes up every year, but somehow is a smarter play cause it avoids paying PMI. Doesn't make much sense unless maybe you're planning to move or get fired.

[@kkiissssiikk]

[@ThorMaximus]

Rent can be more expensive than the mortgage payment. But just the mortgage payment. Doesn’t count property tax, insurance, maintenance, HOA fees, appliances, etc. You have no flexibility to leave either. I don’t like the rent prices either. But the alternative at this point in time is less appealing.

[@BeardedDad91]

I'm not a fan of a 15 year loan. If you have a 30 year loan you have the flexibility of paying a lower payment if you were ever to lose your job. You can always pay extra during good times.

[@patricec9927]

the rates are less for 15 year. also you run the possibility of not keeping up ur emergency fund when you know you can make the lower (30 year) payment. do the 15 year for lowest rate and keep your emerg fund at a proper amount to cover losing job.

[@3ofus135]

My sister-in-law and her husband had a 30 year loan but paid the loan off in 19 years. The 30 year gave them a lot of flexibility vs the 15 year loan. They were still able to pay it off much earlier.

[@ScottMancini]

I agree. Pay your 30 off using a 15 year amortization...if hard times temporarily rear their head, save a few hundred dollars a month paying it down as a 30.

[@paulbdhan3024]

I agree, I have 30 yr mortgage but I pay 2-3 extra payments a year. It gives me flexibility.

[@lechugaJR]

Look up Treynor ratio for the Beta conversation if you want to see the math behind it. The theory Ramsey is explaining is that paying down mortgage would result in a higher Treynor ratio by reducing debt and interest while de-risking (lower Beta) versus putting money in a higher expected return higher risk ETF/mutual fund.

[@fackeyutub-emael6545]

What if you get a 30 year and just pay more when you can? Then, if you messed up, you didn't lose your house.

[@kkiissssiikk]

YES!

[@jsteel_]

A lot can happen in 30 years (divorce, job loss, medical issues). The safest bet is 15 year with 20% down. In 10 years you could end up being foreclosed in with very little principal paid off due to the amortization schedule.

Where I live in North Denver, CO, it’s not uncommon for folks to be paying $5K/month on their housing payment with rates in the high 6s low 7s. There is no middle class home worth $5K/month. I understand some people are more well off than others, but that’s $60K/year just in housing!

[@smothersfamily4]

Truth! It’s not bad end of the stick- the deal is NOT the same but don’t have scared money just accept that the deal looks different. It’s not personal, it’s business! The contractor is telling the truth- so figure out if you can truly “afford” the raise!

You can withdraw up to 10k of Roth IRA towards a 1st time house purchase or new build and not get the 10% early withdrawal penalty. Although, earnings may still be subject to income tax. Contributions (not earnings) can be withdrawn at any age w/o penalty or taxes.

Question: Should I be saving WHILE paying off debt? Or should I pay off my debt first then start saving and investing?

[@Johnnydhee]

You should first save an emergency fund up to 1000 dollars, then pay off debt, then start building the emergency fund to 3-6 months expenses, then increase retirement to 15 percent

[@ThorMaximus]

I followed this model too much. Made myself debt free quickly, BUT, I missed opportunity to put money into 401k and/or Roth IRA. In hindsight, since I can’t go back in time to add to those buckets, I would have delayed paying debt off and get money into those buckets. I paid off my debts and built up over $40k into bank account, which looked great, but I could have easily added $10000 to 401k & $5000 to Roth. I did the numbers, and in the long run, the interest on the debt was inconsequential compared to the missed opportunity cost of the investments growth in next 10 years.

[@TheYoungBaker]

They say you should not put money into your retirement accounts because it will make you angry that you are missing out on saving for retirement. That means you will pay off debt sooner!

[@SYWH-TruthisReal]

The inventory itself isn’t great (at least in the Philly area). Along with the high interest rates, It’s also the cost of renovating and/or repairs especially if you want more than half an acre.

[@mindofapoindexter6083]

Dave has the interest of the banks & a house payment is always good debt to use as leverage. If they save a down payment & make 1 or two extra payments a year towards the mortgage they will be fine. You do a 15 year fix mortgage than creates a bigger mortgage payment unless you have a good interest rate. There’s no reason to rush a mortgage payment if you have a steady income especially being a vet. I’m sure they have the death insurance that could cover the cost of the house when the see their maker. You should worry about if a company will sell your loan, county taxes, & inflation on the area you buy. The equity they will have in fifteen years & saving on the cost of the loan will be better than doing a 15 yer fixed.

[@mavamQ]

I have a neighbor that became risk averse after 9-11. The $200k he pulled out of stocks in 2001, would be over $1M dollars today, if just invested in a Total Stock Market Mutual fund like VTSAX. Instead his low interest accounts didn't keep up with inflation.

Also smaller townhouses and condos are just as expensive now and so i wouldn’t really be downsizing at all.

No. He said three months ago was the perfect time to buy and sell.

No chance with 100k at a 6.5 interest rate she qualifies for a 15 year mortgage at 550k

Don't

How in the world… a fourth of your income on a 15year fixed. The math won’t math even if you’re making 100K smh

Jackson is right, Dave is wrong. Dave always have to make strawman arguments. Investing instead of paying off your house, is not borrowing on your house.

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

Pretty sure they are BOTH wrong.

Rachel is so out of touch. She thinks moving “20 minutes away” is going to help this ladies issue of paying 60% of rent 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@mightyjoefrank9517]

I couldn’t agree more. I heard say sharing passwords is cringe and tacky, but stealing medium sized hotel towels and canceling the subscribe and saves immediately after saving, those aren’t tacky and they are ok. Her advice is in one ear and right out there other anymore.

Why has You Tube stopped dating all videos except brand new ones? Bad. Lots of them NEED a date on them, like this one.

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

There would be NO point in dating this one as it's a collection of calls spread over the course of more than a year.

This is a highlight video. They can't date it

VA LOAN DOESNT HAVE A PMI

[@spldrong]

I really don't understand your problem with VA loans. They have helped me so much! And even worse, you have a problem with a 30 year fixed? 15 yr rates are worse, why not just get a 30 and pay it in 15??

[@familyof5]

It depends on your situation and loan. Is better to have your 20% down and go conventional. VA loans have fees that can cost you more than taking a conventional loan. If you are 10% disabled, then VA might be the better option for you. Correction: 10% disabled.. I'm not sure how I kept typing 100%.

[@jh2519]

Yep, I’m 100% and VA loan is pretty amazing!

[@Cruise465]

VA loans are awesome. You only pay the fee if you are under 50% disabled, not 100%

[@spldrong]

@@familyof5 VA loan got me into a house, kept my $ in my pocket, and kept me from renting. It was more expensive monthly, but 10 years later, thank goodness I got that place.

[@familyof5]

@@Cruise465 VA loans are tricky. Banks sometimes benefit the most.. again, it all depends on your situation. The best cases I seen is 10% disabled. Again, if you have 20% down conventional is the best. You will pay more on the long run with a VA. Trust me. My dad is a veteran and my husband has done mortgages for over 20 years.

[@Zeus-mu1oo]

Rates right now 6.8% so think about it
