Why You'll Never Buy A House | Honest Ads

"it's expensive being poor"

"It’s called the American dream, cause you have to be asleep to believe it ". - George Carlin

The most honest part was, "Who do they think they are? They don't have any money, just like anyone born after 1975." This is the most honest part of the honest video

Everybody thinks Roger is an hired actor, while in fact he's a retired illuminati who just doesn't care anymore and might as well tell the truth because he knows that everyone will take it as an comedic exaggeration.

All houses come with "no ghosts". What you should be looking for is "no homeowner's association."

He should do rentals next. Rent prices are getting insane. It’s used to be 1/3 income but around here even before the pandemic they raised it to 1/2 income. And they wonder why young people have no money.

"I found a job as a real estate agent because that's an easy way for a washed up creative to make a lot of money without having to learn any real skills." Soooo true!

Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

Asking a real estate broker if it’s time to buy is like asking an alcoholic it was time for a drink.

Guys, we're not saying don't buy a house. We're saying the whole process is more complicated, expensive, and bureaucratic than it needs to be. If you can buy a house and it doesn't take you out financially, obviously go for it.

As someone who has been evicted despite never causing issues or being late on payments - just so my landlord can double the price on the rental market - ownership sounds pretty good.

My plan at this point is to save up as much as I can and go live in another country. The rent in my area (if you can even find an empty apartment) is nuts. One family has pretty much bought up everything that can get their hands on and can now basically ask anything that want. And forget buying. I've only just gotten into the workforce, my older sister has been working for over a decade and still can't afford anything. My dad was a fireman in new York and bought 64 acres and a farmhouse in another state for my siblings and I to inherit. Up until my Mom decided she wanted a divorce. Everything was divided up and sold to strangers. Any money they got was squandered by both parties on pointless court battles. My mom bought a decent house she won't maintain, and she forced my dad to buy a trailer to avoid having us taken away. My dad is super generous letting me stay with him, but it sucks having to start the whole "generational wealth" thing from square one. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

"Are you paying 1500$/monthly in rent? Sorry, when can't approve your mortgage of 800$/monthly, because we are not sure if you would be able to pay it" The Bank's Logic. It's true what they say, the bank only gives you a loan, if you are able to prove that you don't need it on the first place.

As a licensed real estate agent, I approve this message.

If a realtor tries to rush you into a buy then do not use that realtor. Home buying takes time and you need to be 100% sure that the home you are looking at is for you

As a house owner, I confirm my house has 4 walls and a different wall on top and dirt outside.

Home ownership is not simply about the 'American dream'. It's about being able to retire (automatically at a lowered income) without having to worry about not being able to afford rent for shelter at an old age

I absolutely loved the stone cold stare off into nothingness before Roger started speaking! it really emphasizes the thinly-veiled facade of selling the "American dream".

Always love how all the 'negatives' for home ownership are often things I still have to deal with in apartments. 😭😭😭😭

Don't forget the evil HOA that will take your house if you stop paying your fee and tell you how your house should look.
