Thanks for sharing your insight. Your monthly payment will be higher than renting, but you again your monthly payment is going towards your principal towards and asset that goes up in value overtime. Also, a lot of the time the interest you pay might be deductible against your taxes. Compared to renting, where its an equivalent of 100% of your rent going towards interest. For you average american, home ownership is one of the best investment vehicles for increasing net worth.

Glad it was helpful!

thanks Chris :)

thanks Brennen!

How's Idaho?

Muchas gracias senorita

No. Buy a home you could afford

You say been in the past tense. Assuming it didn’t work out for you?

Retiring from building. I got out of real estate just before the big crash. I did love being a broker though.@@lucaspintoseattle

Where's your massive real estate portfolio at?

The good areas of Tacoma are deff safe at night time. Northend, university place, etc. Other areas are a bit more questionable, I wouldn't go for a night stroll but you're not at risk in your home or driving, etc. Tacoma has come along way from 30 years when ago when it was the main city on cops

@@lucaspintoseattle university place is not tacoma anymore, so pretty much only northend is somewhat safe, the rest of tacoma is dangerous. I still see alot shootings, stabbings on the news in tacoma, but some of my friends bought houses in tacoma because they cant afford anything in seattle area

Not usually no, especially in the more developed neighborhoods it's pretty safe. The city of Tacoma has definitely had an impactful safety initiative. I have another video on my channel of neighborhoods to avoid and a couple tacoma suburbs are listed.

@@lucaspintoseattle if you can do a map of it in a new video, it can help many people out. I lived in seattle for over 20 years and all people talk about in tacoma is its dangerous. My friends bought in tacoma's eastside, south, and salishan. There are alot of crime during nighttime.

always said it's gonna cause twice as much now-plus. for same reason

Sometimes that is the unfortunate truth. We're doing everything right, plumbing, electrical, etc.

second lowest lol we worked with this contractor before and he did a good job for us. He just dropped the ball in this project

We do have a contract. But not that simple, because suing them is pricey and normally who ends up winning is the attorneys.

i don't know how much u r getting screwed for, but small claims court can net you ten thou of it. if you have an itemized contract, such as, "...done in X-amount of time/of certain date..." then you can bring multiple suits. if you do that make sure you get a restraining order at same time orders go into effect. one for you and another for property if required, contractors seem to always think their problems are your problems and don't understand two way streets, and many times attempt to "reclaim" their labor".

Aint that handy and way too busy

Real estate is evil? lol

A hunter and a gatherer were both killed by the farmer for being on his land. its just legal extortion, your not working for a living by owning things, buying holding and selling, is the primary driving force of inflation. it only increases in value, becuse you ransom the right to be in a location on earth. only 0,1% of american land is legally traversable, becuse douche bags decided they owned it, and defend that right with violence. I tried living in the woods only to discover, someone ones everywhere.@@lucaspintoseattle

Dont like it? Buy a house and stop moaning

Yes this contractor had a great track record with us. But he lost his whole crew about 1 month into the job. Our mistake, was we didn't check on the work on a weekly basis and failed to manage the contractor. All great lessons

pat reply should be "Give me five references, with phone # of local people you have done work for previously and recently" if he can't do that... as far as contractors go, and i have worked for many in my life, their book of excuses is a lot bigger than their book of satisfied customers! @@lucaspintoseattle

@@lucaspintoseattle Thank you for the info and also the accountability, you could have just blamed them but you didn’t and I think that was really professional

The vibes, the cultural history, THE FOOD!

​Cold, depressing weather and Socialist (Communist Lite) politics.

Yeah Seattle is a great city, although there are some big challenges in the last few years. There's a reason why we've seen so much growth.

We have clients earning $50k a year that own a home. Anyone could be a homeowner, and thinking otherwise is just limited thinking

thank you!

I manage the property manager every quarter. Easy

@@lucaspintoseattle tell that to a single mother working 2 jobs

Please explain...

I have clients purchasing homes with down payment assistance programs that allow them to buy a home with $0 out of pocket. Credit is needed…

​@@lucaspintoseattleI'm sure that's not a scam lol

Thank you for sharing! I strongly disagree… We’ll see in 12-24 months 👍
