1. So I disagree and my reason is simply that you can use the equity in your personal home to buy you first investment property, in fact, you could even love in an investment property while you’re working on it. But, Grant Cordone is a smart fella, he does make a good point, I’m just offering an alternative

   1. You kinda just proved Grant right. Your house isn’t an investment. Your investments property is your investment. Meanwhile, you now owe interest on that equity you used.

      What you did, is use debt wisely, assuming the investment property is going to pay you more than the interest owed on the equity used.

   2. It’s a generalized statement consider the data he has. So how did he make statement. Imagine you purchased a house during this inflation as most everyone as gen z. 3 percent down, making the mortgage and insurance for 15 years. Your loan is on the market interest rate. Now how much does equity need to go up? Would it go up linear meaning certain money put in = certain value return? No. It’s capped by your neighborhood. The neighbor has to work collectively to bring down the price or bring the value in the dollar that is expressed in the available jobs around the house. So he buys properties where the neighbor has undervalued the property from neglect. So he fixes and rents it up, packing more people, and causing neighborhood’s to increase unwanted value. While he does that at scale, your job won’t consider your increased in property value to keep up inflation. Everything goes up while you sacrifice vacation, car, kids school to pay the mortgage.

5. My first house, I bought for $155k on a FHA loan. 3 years later almost to the day I sold it for $310,000. Did almost no remodel pretty much just paint. I’d say in that situation it was an investment for me.

   1. Clearly not an investment if you account for the closing cost on the sale; plus how much you paid in principal and interest; and you have to include taxes and insurance. Try again

9. My understanding of “a house is not an investment” is simply that it is not cash flowing money to you. UNTIL, you sell it and receive profit. So while you live in it and pay the mortgage, taxes, and repairs, it is simply draining your cash flow. Robert Kiyosaki says the same thing. But when rent for a dump is more than my mortgage, taxes, and repairs, then what is the downside? I can paint my walls the color I want, etc. and I have to live somewhere…and I can sell it, odds are for a gain. A house is not an investment, but neither is rent.
