Essential Economics for Politicians

Good question. Did you know your house is not an asset?
It’s an asset for sure. For the bank. You have at least 12 opportunities a year to reconcile that fact as money flows from your account to the bank so that they can lend it out again. Does your “asset” do that?
 
As I suspected. You’re neither. Did you ever see The King of Comedy? Are you Rupert Pupkin the economist?
Did he deny that his home was a liability until he paid off his loan from the bank? Seen it hundreds of times. But there is no way that a savy RE guy doesn't know about the function of PMI or tax deductible interest.
 
Why do you lick these brief little eras when things went “off the rails?” Why would you buy a house at a 17% mortgage? Try to make sense.
Still waiting for you to answer the questions. Answering questions with questions is not an answer.

Just in case you didn't know, these "little eras" happen about every 12 years or so. Also, you were the one who posted like an idiot that it's a "fact" that you always make money in real estate in So Cal. Don't blame me for your ignorance.

it’s a fact that it’s almost impossible not to make money owning so cal real estate. Sorry if you got caught playing over your head. Sounds like you must have. I have bought and sold several times since the late 80s. Read up, Torros. Learn about location. Don’t buy things you can’t afford to hold. Learn from your mistakes. You’ll do great! Maybe you and Iz should team up and buy a cool little cottage in San Pedro. It’s gonna happen next. Don’t buy a condo. I may go in with you!

Still no answer? Predictable.

I believe your questions were, effectively, if I bought high and sold low did I lose money? Yes I would have! I didn’t think you were serious in asking such a stupid question. Like I said, go find a nice property and buy it. But only if you can afford to hold it. You will make money. Choose wisely. I can help you.

At least you’re talking about buying an asset now.
