I'm 19 and took over the payments on my father's house when he moved out west. I guess I own my home, but i have roomates to pay me rent to help keep things easy.

 

being an ex supra guy, on the surface I would agree with what they say. I have no doubt that there are plenty of EVO guys that have a house also. But you do have to question a lot of the posts on t his forum. Please don't take this wrong, but it seems like a ton of posters have just graduated from a Honda to a EVO, and the first thing they want is a BOV and intake so they sound cool. It's like they're "wannabies", from some sort of wannabie manufacturing facility located in SoCal. And like a virus, it's spreading. Probably due to the lower cost of used models. The EVO owners that own their own house just don't seem to post as much as "the others".

But below the surface, their is definitely a following of well informed and well funded EVO owners that could hold their own against the supra community. They are just different platforms in two different arenas, but both good.

 

Yeah, owning a home is one of the best things you can do for yourself/family. I work in a real estate finance so I say this professionally too.

 

Awesome, I was wondering how long it would take to get two people in the spot.

I can't imagine paying off a 30yr loan anytime soon, but I do have a mortgage and have gained about $170k in equity in 2 years of ownership due to the local housing market. I'm using it to buy a bigger house very soon...

 

I am post college, pre family. So, I guess apt. living is what I got. Who gives a crap what Supra guys say. Besides Evo guys are the same way with Honda guys. Launch on one and they will shutt up.

 

I'm in the market for a house now. Won't have to get rid of the EVO to buy, but I won't be buying any new car soon.

 

i am 27
and i am building my third house as we speak.....
and i am not rich by any means, i just know when to hold em, and when to fold them
be smart about your money, there is no reason to ever use a credit card unless its a medical emergency. if you need that part, save for it

 

5 years ago I got my first mortgage when I was just 22. It was a duplex, I lived in half and rented the other half to help pay the mortgage. It was the best investment I could have made at the time. Couple of years ago I refinanced that place and used the equity to purchase my second home. In a couple more years I'm going to do the same thing with both places and by another one. The plan is to retire at 45.

 

I am 29 ,evo is paid for still paying on my house

 

26 and single...just bought my house this July

 

I own my own home, but the ease at which people have built, flipped or cashed out their homes and expect appreciation to continue at 20%, or maybe more is coming to an end. Too many beginners in the arena, and when there is that many inexperienced players, people are bound to get hurt.

 

Moved from SoCal to Charlotte so I could cash out on the crazy real estate prices.

 

Very good quote! Keep that thought process and you will end up being rich.
