Tipsy Girl | Should I rent or buy right now in Southern CA? |
I have heard mixed things about the the upside or renting and buying, and I am confused as to what to do. I would be buying by myself in the 400k range. I have about 30% to put down that would otherwise be earning a little over 5% interest. Not sure what to do. Any ideas? |

If you plan to be there more than 3-5 years, buy. If its just for a short term, rent. In spite of the potential benefits of a purchasing, in a stabilizing/adjusting market, you might not recover your closing costs in the short run, and the gap between rental rates in the area vs. after-tax mortgage/tax/insurance costs, may actually lean one more toward renting. |

No advice (it's a free site, so you get what you pay for). I'd wait in SoCal now (and I live here). Prices in our neighborhood (Orange County)have been dropping over the past 16 months. You run the risk of overpaying now and seeing your property depreciate before the slump is over. Some articles with different opinions: http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/Banking/Homebuyingguide/P72655.asp. Go also to the Wall Street Journal's on -line site (www.wsj.com) and type rent vs buy in the search engine. A few articles are free, some cost a nominal charge, but you'll have a selection to read from. |

It is now a buyer's market! A lot of houses are for sale and prices are negotiable. Sellers are desperate because of the competition. You could make a good bargain for the house of your dream. So why not buy one right now. And of course interest on your mortgage is tax deductible, property tax as well. But rent will never reduce your taxes. |

if you have the money, yeah sure buy now. if not, of course, rent. if you are able to buy a house, then go for it, fix it up and sell it, or rent it out, or live in it. the world is your oyster. |

It is a huge buyers market right now. If you have the funds to put down a downpayment or can get a seller who is willing to drop there price and lose some equity, you could basically steal a house right now. |

Renting: after 3 years you have a pile of receipts and that's it
Buying: you get 5 benefits from the ideal investment
Income- if a multi fam
depreciation- the government helps you
equity build-up- each month you own a little bit more
appreciation- historically they go up in value
leverage- the most important 10% down on a 400,000 house
when the property goes up 10% your return $40,000 or 100% return on your investment.
You choose pile of paper or pile of money??????? |

If you have the option, ALWAYS buy in Southern CA. Yes, the market fluctuates, but it is Southern CA. You will always be able to make money on property here because there are too many people and not enough land- even with development. |
