Possible mis link - that is not new construction. Asking price is almost triple of what it sold for in 2015.

we sold ours pretty fast. but yeah if rates were lower easy another 100k in profit. and i know in 10 years that place would be worth more. i just fucking hated california government, all their liberal fag shit to a point i didn’t want anything to do with those liberal fags. not a penny more from me in property taxes

No need to hate CA and their liberal fag shit. You can make a ton of money by providing them what they need and living a good life in any other city.

We sold this flip in Berkeley for $1.75M in June. Bought last ...

If I wanted to own rentals in Berkeley and SF, I would have owned them many moons ago. There’s no reason to subject myself to their crazy rent control rules and regulations when there are better options in the Bay.

Well, some good news!

“The CPI, the data they are looking at is old data. All they have to do is call Doug McMillon at Walmart, call any of the real estate fellas and ask what is happening to our apartment rents,” he said, pointing out that the rate of rent growth is now slowing.

The continuation of rate hikes will also cause a “major crash” in the housing market, Sternlicht predicted. The once-hot real estate market is swiftly slowing down, with mortgage rates for a 30-year fixed loan over 6% — up from 3.29% at the start of the year, according to Mortgage News Daily.

While the Fed’s target is 2%, inflation should run at 3% to 4%, Sternlicht said.

“Inflation that is driven by wage growth is fabulous. We should want wages to go up,” he sai...

Can you share the loan underwriting details during the last housing crash and now if you know?

Based on what our lender told us, he said the loan underwriting last time was madness. 1.0 DSCR of pro-forma rents, which the borrower couldn’t likely achieve, which explained the end result.

Loan underwriting now is…..

WookieMan says

I worked with a guy in Chicago that had 2k units. Lost them ALL during the crash.

Sounds like someone (or several people) got a great buying opportunity from an overleveraged landlord.

If you knew of the loan underwriting then, you would understand why it happened. It would take more than 2008 housing crash to see the same level of default. Loan underwriting is no longer the same. We set reserves on all our buildings to withstand a 25% vacancy. If push comes to shove, handle all property management and save another 5-6 percent.

That sounds like suicide to me. Of course, I don't know how many properties you have.

So he bought the house 7 years ago for $375, did nothing to it, and now he’s asking $1 million. And will probably get it.

Watch out everyone! Housing crash incoming! This guy is certainly going to look foolish after the 40% correction and he only gets 600K for his house.

Again, not saying that house prices won’t stabilize or go down a little. But anyone who is expecting 2008 again is going to be disappointed.

FedEx stock went down more than 20%. It confirmed that economy is cooling. One can expect some bargains both in stocks and RE.

100 units. If that’s what it takes to survive through a 30% rent drop or vacancy, one has to do what one has to do. However, history is on my side so I’m not sweating it.

During the dotcom crash, rent dropped as much as 28%. Rent hardly budged during the Great Recession. Rent dropped a little, 5-10%, during the pandemic. It has since recovered and at record high now.

We have reserves set aside to carry us for 5 years of 25% vacancy. I think we’ll be ok. If the Bay Area becomes the next Detroit, I think we’ll have much bigger issues to worry about.

It's 40% actually. My rent dropped 40% during dot.bomb.

Was this in the Bay Area, specifically San Jose or elsewhere? If San Jose, do you mind sharing the address of the building? I always love to learn from history.

I know the Bay Area got crazy rent hikes during the dotcom and got whacked hard with the drop. Not sure about other areas.

@Eman - "No one could have seen it coming". Oh really? Michael Burry did.

Don't get me wrong, I do not wish you any harm but, in the big scheme of things, ask yourself...do you really add anything to the economy? There has been much ink spent on Patrick.net about the rent seekers. It is what it is.

How do you feel about the big Wall Street attempt to takeover housing? Is it real? Is it good or bad for society? America used to put the health of society just a little higher on the ladder of importance.

With respect to the “no one could have seen it coming.” Some people always see it coming. The question is how many actually act on it and become financially free from the day to day W2 grind that some people actually hate? They do it because they have to, not because they want to.

With respect to being a rent seeker, I don’t share the same viewpoint with Patnetters. I’m a little fish in a huge pond. The big boys are the ones who drive the rental market. We just ride on their coattail and provide class B and C rentals at more affordable prices.

I love what I do much more than being a W2 engineer. I get satisfaction out of improving my buildings…again much more than designing stuff at my former W2. I don’t see the difference between the 2 jobs. The biggest difference is that I’m building my own dreams and my family’s while W2 folks are building other people’s dreams. I used to be there too although I was always looking for a way out. I took the risk and got rewarded while the majority is still beholden to their W2 paychecks, the most addictive drug. “Perceived” security comes at a price. Some people are only 1 paycheck from being in trouble. That’s NOT how I want to live my life. I want to control my destiny, and not someone else’s.

If WallStreet is taking over housing, it is what it is. It’s beyond my control. I’ve learned to do what I can control and focus my energy and efforts on it. In fact, REITs are a form of WallStreet owning real estate assets.

To me, money never sleeps. It always looks for a home/yield. Given so much liquidity in the market while CD’s and bonds didn’t pay 💩, it spilled into more real estate investments. WallStreet’s job is to find a home/yield with acceptable risk to their clients and make their fees aka paychecks. Who do we blame for what they do, or this “crisis”?

I do admire risk takers...win or lose. I have a very strong dislike (I don't like to use the word hate usually) for those who coast on the efforts/money of others like government employees, welfare and even trust funders. These people tend to be vapid and offer nearly ZERO value.

Fiat, debt and government are going to kill this country. I feel like I've been having a vision for the past 5-10 years.

Unless other careers see the same issues, it could be FedEx alone. In either case slow down is inevitable. That means great deals are on way for buyers. Watch out for the crazy inflation. Never fall for gov fake numbers.

Booger says

2010 was the magic number.

California Housing Market: Dismal Sales

I wonder if the Work From Home (WFH) workforce is being called back to work in Silicon Valley, and if that means they have to return from rentals in Idaho, Nevada, etc.

That should mean the influx of former WFH workers should at least help the residential rental markets in Silicon Valley. Investors could rent out their homes which they purchased in last two years at inflated prices.

The Federal Reserve is at least selling assets on its balance sheet as part of quantitative tightening (QT).

One silver lining is that we are inflating out of a debt crisis as the Debt to GDP ratio has been trending down since it peaked around early 2020. I hope it can return within the range of 100 to 110% within the next 4 years.

This means working, middle and fixed income seeing annual income growth that is about 2.5% less than CPI, or government-reported annual inflation. I just hope this is for no more than two consecutive years.

We need more innovation to realize greater productivity. I'm reading more about how Californian strawberries are harvested by robots.

This isn't rocket science. Inventory levels in 2005 - 2008 were at the highest levels recorded in the last 25 years. Todays levels are at the lowest.

Inventory is the FIRST metric you look at with real estate. Everything else is noise. Interest rates will stall it for sure and not crash unless they hit double digits. People still need a place to live and will still buy. Then employment. If you cannot find a job right now you're a retard.

Inflation in goods is the biggest factor right now. Huge grocery bills, huge fill ups of gas, etc. Less disposable income to save and/or purchase a home. With no one wanting to work, wages are rising, at least here in IL. I dislike Biden with a passion, but from an RE perspective I'm not seeing much of a change in flyover country. High end coastal cities as people leave because covid changed their life (mask and vaccines), dip shit taxes/policies, and you can work from home are bringing more inventory to the market in urban centers.

Not possible to be both. The unvaxxed are the smart ones, and the proof is being published every day now.

As far as what Booger posted a few posts ago on the condo in Salem, MA

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/225-Derby-St-UNIT-503-Salem-MA-01970/68008640_zpid/

Last sale prices were $549,000 in Mar 2005 and $415,000 in Nov 2011.

The current asking price is around $600,000. Based on 4% appreciation annually from 2011 to 2022, the estimated market value of this condo would be around $640,000.

My guess it will sell for around $550,000.
