New York City with the real estate market obviously one of the most vibrant and high value and exciting real estate markets in the entire

Thank you, Sean.
17
00:02:09.330 –> 00:02:09.900
Doing this
18
00:02:11.250 –> 00:02:11.820
Great thing.
19
00:02:12.210 –> 00:02:12.660
Yes.
20
00:02:12.750 –> 00:02:19.380
A lot of fun here today for those who are listening to an audio only we got beautiful maps in New York City in the background and
21
00:02:19.740 –> 00:02:27.720
Really shows you how much developments there and all the stuff going on. So what do you, what do you think the future of homeownership is, where do you think things are headed
22
00:02:29.760 –> 00:02:36.570
Well, it’s a very strong culture, in our country.
23
00:02:37.830 –> 00:02:57.450
owning a home is the American dream. I don’t believe that that is gone. I think it is the late in many instances for younger people who are starting out, they the powers universities with a lot of debt.
24
00:02:58.530 –> 00:03:14.370
They are, as you mentioned, a little more loose, maybe more, more or less, building groups early in their careers and I do think they are delaying homeownership
25
00:03:15.270 –> 00:03:35.670
And also in certain kinds of markets like New York City of attaining the financial ability to have home ownership is also difficult, very expensive in the larger down payment. So that’s causing some delay.
26
00:03:37.200 –> 00:03:45.900
So I think in a very broad stroke. There is some trend towards continuing renting
27
00:03:47.310 –> 00:03:48.630
also heard that people
28
00:03:50.130 –> 00:03:53.730
Stay home longer I can like rent.
29
00:03:55.380 –> 00:03:57.270
And then stop ranting
30
00:03:58.350 –> 00:04:04.350
And but there are still huge economic benefits to owning a home.
31
00:04:06.000 –> 00:04:12.600
Still one of the best investments that people have is still a great savings device.
32
00:04:13.980 –> 00:04:14.520
And
33
00:04:15.720 –> 00:04:19.200
Very often, as ever have.
34
00:04:26.820 –> 00:04:27.180
You know,
35
00:04:30.270 –> 00:04:31.950
A lot of people do use it as a savings.
36
00:04:31.950 –> 00:04:43.620
Device. I’d love to, you know, hear more about what you’ve seen with that of course you know I split my time between Orlando in Dallas. And, you know, Lando market is full of people from the New York, New Jersey, etc. Markets who
37
00:04:44.250 –> 00:04:51.810
I guess owned a home, they built their equity. I sold the home they buy a cheaper piece of property in Florida, and then they go in their retirement years and they free up a lot of cash.
38
00:04:53.100 –> 00:05:06.240
Yes. Well, I’m a mortgage is is a fourth saving device. So every time you make the mortgage payment gets you paying profit bank.
39
00:05:10.110 –> 00:05:21.960
But you’re also chipping away at the amount that you owe to the bank. So every time you make a payment you oh English money and you building equity and the
40
00:05:23.100 –> 00:05:41.580
Of course, there’s no guarantee that your property will go up in value but trends have shown during your properties significant period of time, five years enough it will, it’s very likely that it will go up in value money saving and also you building
41
00:05:42.780 –> 00:05:43.890
Building value.
42
00:05:47.250 –> 00:05:53.640
Yeah, I mean one thing we’ve looked out a lot on this show is just kind of future economic trends, one of which being, you know, it’s kind of this
43
00:05:54.030 –> 00:06:02.340
New view with some of the younger generations of, you know, everything’s a service, right, not nothing’s owned everything’s a service. And we see that with Uber.
44
00:06:03.330 –> 00:06:08.970
You know, we have we talked to, we talked to, I talked to offline and she’ll be coming on the show later a partner at IBM who has a
45
00:06:09.480 –> 00:06:20.190
teenage son who says, Look, I’m not even going to get driver’s license, when I when I need a car. I’ll just hire a car to drive me where I need to go. I don’t want to. I don’t want to mess with owning a card on. That’s what a driver’s license.
46
00:06:21.510 –> 00:06:34.260
I guess some people are traveling around the world not owning a piece of property. What, what do you, what do you say to the people that just say hey you know why be bothered with all the trouble of, you know, a piece of real estate maintenance upkeep, etc.
47
00:06:36.300 –> 00:07:02.010
Well, if you’re a single person your life may stay that way and it’s made shoes. Very well. But as as you grow into a family and you have children. Other considerations come into such as you want to be in the stable community. You want to be having a long
48
00:07:03.120 –> 00:07:05.490
Term life in that community. The
49
00:07:06.660 –> 00:07:20.490
Family children. You don’t want to be switching schools, over time, you wanted to go connections friends. You also want the free to create the kind of home you want
50
00:07:21.660 –> 00:07:29.220
You may want to renovate it decorated the type of things you can’t really do in a rental type of situation.
51
00:07:30.690 –> 00:07:35.970
So there are just lifestyle choices that homeownership still
52
00:07:37.230 –> 00:07:49.470
Can crew a lot over a rental type of situation in a rental for your can be a landlord if you lease is up in here and
53
00:07:51.420 –> 00:07:52.920
Then you have to find in place.
54
00:07:55.410 –> 00:07:55.950
And
55
00:07:57.690 –> 00:08:01.380
There. There are also some tax situation that
56
00:08:04.170 –> 00:08:15.690
Now we know our President, recently built into those that there are still significant tax for property tax deduction, we
57
00:08:16.890 –> 00:08:25.620
Can get out of the $10,000 and you can still mortgage interest on your primary reason
58
00:08:28.860 –> 00:08:30.090
That those are
59
00:08:35.280 –> 00:08:38.460
You in a rental situation. Yeah.
60
00:08:38.520 –> 00:08:39.420
And I think, you know,
61
00:08:40.140 –> 00:08:42.900
Unfortunately, those, those tax changes they
62
00:08:42.960 –> 00:08:47.100
I think they they hit hard, places like New York with high real estate values right they
63
00:08:48.540 –> 00:08:53.400
They did. Because the real estate fact in the considerable and
64
00:08:59.430 –> 00:09:10.950
Wealthy suburbs that have property through $40,000 here and now those adoption don’t this so those Mark has been
65
00:09:13.740 –> 00:09:15.270
Another wonderful
66
00:09:17.670 –> 00:09:26.250
And as you build equity and you can obtain a home equity line of credit which, if you’re
67
00:09:28.440 –> 00:09:37.500
In need of money for college medical expenses or as you mentioned, perhaps by a second home.
68
00:09:40.020 –> 00:09:42.300
Yeah, you can use
69
00:09:43.710 –> 00:09:44.580
And why
70
00:09:45.960 –> 00:09:47.550
Like that. Right.
71
00:09:47.640 –> 00:09:49.230
A lot of people have used that
72
00:09:49.260 –> 00:09:57.930
And you know the home equity loans provide a lot of liquidity and some people looking to the future are expecting even more liquidity because they want to do some of this.
73
00:09:58.890 –> 00:10:04.410
Token icing or other transactions where they’ll be able to parse out part of the ownership to other people.
74
00:10:05.220 –> 00:10:18.480
So i mean i think i think that’s that’s been a long mainstay of it. And I think some people are working hard trying to take some of the transaction costs out of that to encourage people to even be able to use the equity in their home even more in the future.
75
00:10:20.100 –> 00:10:22.620
It’s true, and the whole mortgage crisis.
76
00:10:24.660 –> 00:10:26.370
Right away from
77
00:10:28.800 –> 00:10:30.810
Having an extra mortgage payments.
78
00:10:33.840 –> 00:10:35.670
That’s a personal choice.
79
00:10:40.470 –> 00:10:45.390
Yeah, well, what do you say to the people that are just scared by the size of a mortgage
80
00:10:45.390 –> 00:10:48.150
Particularly in a market like New York. I mean, what would you say to them.
81
00:10:50.820 –> 00:10:55.770
Well, it is it is something to be afraid of. Because if you
82
00:10:57.780 –> 00:11:05.040
Qualify for mortgages almost so you have sufficient income and losers.
83
00:11:06.090 –> 00:11:08.760
You’re in a an issue you have a problem.
84
00:11:09.810 –> 00:11:20.460
So I would say to people who are concerned about mortgage payment to make sure they have many months of reserves.
85
00:11:21.600 –> 00:11:26.940
Pacing so that will give them enough time to come up with a strategy.
86
00:11:28.110 –> 00:11:29.310
To sell the home.
87
00:11:30.840 –> 00:11:32.490
To rent a home.
88
00:11:33.570 –> 00:11:41.640
To have some plan the right, you shouldn’t go into that situation without sufficient pushing plan.
89
00:11:43.140 –> 00:11:43.560
Time.
90
00:11:45.060 –> 00:11:45.540
Around
91
00:11:48.870 –> 00:11:50.580
Yeah, because I mean you are sigh, a long
92
00:11:50.610 –> 00:11:59.010
Term obligation, you know, I guess, having some savings in there to keep the mortgage payments going for a while, at the head of disruption of a job or whatever.
93
00:12:00.120 –> 00:12:08.850
You know, and of course you know one of the one of the risks of owning the real estate to is it’s, you know, let’s say you get relocated your job, suddenly moves, you know, and you get the notice that, hey, you’ve gotta
94
00:12:09.330 –> 00:12:20.100
leave New York because the company you’re working for one she got another market and you’re given that hard choice between, you know, taking a new job or searching locally, you know, and sometimes he will get themselves in those types of situations.
95
00:12:21.330 –> 00:12:25.080
Yeah, some, some companies have nice programs.
96
00:12:26.790 –> 00:12:28.560
To help their employees and
97
00:12:29.880 –> 00:12:34.380
So coming to a new community for a job.
98
00:12:37.560 –> 00:12:42.510
They have any programs where they they will actually purchase the house from you.
99
00:12:43.530 –> 00:12:47.520
Have these again and be relocated here.
100
00:12:49.650 –> 00:12:51.030
So that, that’s, that’s nice.
101
00:12:53.820 –> 00:12:58.830
Of course, very negative. So, so the number of people who get everything is a service.
102
00:13:00.180 –> 00:13:02.880
That kind of thing that they’re concerned about our
103
00:13:04.470 –> 00:13:06.360
Repairs dealing with
104
00:13:08.340 –> 00:13:10.170
Maintenance of a home.
105
00:13:11.940 –> 00:13:14.070
Home even an apartment.
106
00:13:15.090 –> 00:13:15.840
In New York City.
107
00:13:18.210 –> 00:13:20.250
And they can be alive. There’s
108
00:13:23.730 –> 00:13:24.660
Hope so.
109
00:13:25.950 –> 00:13:30.900
Thank you. Very nice. In a situation that you don’t have
110
00:13:37.770 –> 00:13:47.760
Any tips and tricks for that piece of it. I know you you you own a couple pieces of rental real estate. Right. And so, you know, a tips and tricks on keeping up on the maintenance and getting getting that done the right way.
111
00:13:49.350 –> 00:14:09.120
You own a home just say it’s your own primary residence. There are some very nice companies that you can have a service contract and they will handle all kinds of things in your home heating air conditioning on electric all that so that you know you have one
112
00:14:10.170 –> 00:14:15.360
service company for and they will saw us kind of prepare
113
00:14:16.770 –> 00:14:20.580
So I would recommend service contract with a company like that.
114
00:14:21.810 –> 00:14:29.040
Or you like to be more involved. I just develop relationships with people that you trust us.
115
00:14:30.210 –> 00:14:43.980
Don’t, don’t try new people, each time. And also, although y’all was anxious don’t always look for the cheapest service person for important things in your home.
116
00:14:51.240 –> 00:14:51.750
Returning
117
00:14:55.890 –> 00:14:56.220
Yeah.
118
00:14:56.670 –> 00:15:06.420
And I think one of the trends. We talked a little bit as we opened it was this trend of people renting so I imagine there might be some people that want to be the owner of the real estate.
119
00:15:07.470 –> 00:15:15.300
Rather than rather than necessarily occupying it but actually becoming a landlord. So what would you say to those types of situations.
120
00:15:16.830 –> 00:15:24.450
I think it’s a great opportunity you want real estate because I think there is a trend towards
121
00:15:26.040 –> 00:15:29.670
Younger renting longer. So I think we have
122
00:15:31.710 –> 00:15:34.980
an abundant supply potential and
123
00:15:36.540 –> 00:15:40.290
I would suggest that you very carefully of that is
124
00:15:41.730 –> 00:15:44.310
You should credit checks. References
125
00:15:46.560 –> 00:15:53.370
In New York City getting out a problem and not paying can be very difficult.
126
00:15:54.870 –> 00:16:11.160
Some other areas where it’s also difficult so you don’t you want to avoid being in a situation and so doing background checks and it’s very useful. And also, just make sure you’re not like the property.
127
00:16:17.430 –> 00:16:17.730
Right.
128
00:16:23.970 –> 00:16:35.670
What recommendations you have for folks. Now, in the future, as they’re looking at their real estate needs and going forward a blanket recommendations or ideas you would plan in people’s head from your years of experience.
129
00:16:37.320 –> 00:16:41.370
Yes, I would. I would recommend that they buy a home.
130
00:16:46.560 –> 00:16:46.950
To
131
00:16:49.200 –> 00:16:50.130
sell a house.
132
00:16:51.630 –> 00:16:55.260
It’s not a guarantee that the House will go up in value.
133
00:16:56.280 –> 00:16:57.180
Short term.
134
00:16:58.920 –> 00:17:05.610
So a lot of a lot of excitement about how much money making real estate.
135
00:17:07.980 –> 00:17:08.820
Is real and
136
00:17:11.190 –> 00:17:22.950
You would hope it would work out. So don’t be afraid of buying a home, but just make sure that you really liked the location. I recommend renting in a particular
137
00:17:24.660 –> 00:17:33.210
City or area within that town or city to make sure you really liked it before you buy for a year.
138
00:17:35.520 –> 00:17:39.810
There’s no guarantee that the price go up so that
139
00:17:41.250 –> 00:17:42.120
Should also not
140
00:17:43.620 –> 00:17:43.830
As
141
00:17:46.320 –> 00:17:48.810
First, you should look at it as a player.
142
00:17:49.860 –> 00:17:52.830
You enjoying living there first.
143
00:17:54.270 –> 00:17:58.290
You should get value back and goes up in value.
144
00:18:04.560 –> 00:18:06.570
Yeah, that’s fantastic. Thank you, David.
