The thing I found about San Jose in much of the Bay Area. Unless you move to Santa Cruz. It’s almost impossible to escape the sound of traffic or the highway.
@SpencerHsu3 күн бұрын
Thats partially true. Look at a map and as long as homes are at least 4-5 rows away from a highway/busier road, you’ll be fine. San Jose is very big so the outside perimeters have no noise

@SpencerHsu12 күн бұрын
Totally appreciate the comment. Most places will change and when you have a top school like Mission San Jose, it will continue to be a spiral that way. Fortunately if you own a home, the value of a home has done very well, so you can always move to nearby neighborhoods or cities that isn’t as hyper competitive .

@SpencerHsuАй бұрын
That’s the wrong math. It’s very cheap relative to most people’s income. Because of this, the asset appreciation does extremely well. Looking at it the wrong way but up to you if you want to keep renting here.
@alex55t60Ай бұрын
@@SpencerHsu I wouldn’t be so quick to discredit the “math” lol I literally still have the paper listing. I agree with you though no doubt on the asset appreciation. The catch that people need to be aware of is property tax. Even you pay it off you’re still paying a premium for run down homes that require renovations. I have a bunch of family members who are homeowners here who can speak to it. My own sibling had to pay $50K for just a vanity replacement for her master bathroom. Insane. That kinda money could be an entire landscaping reno. Just putting that in perspective. At the end of the day, the bay is a top preferred climate and economically opportunistic place to live - but should shit the fan like in this current economy - your baseline mortgage and everyday costs is still high. Not crapping on your video btw, I support any other fellow Asians like yourself doing their thing. Keep doing what you’re doing bro. Pardon the rant lol
@SpencerHsuАй бұрын
I go over the math a lot with clients. Paying $50k for basic vanity is getting scammed as I have many trusted contractors. Nevertheless, buying is not for everyone as renting is preferable for flexibility. Property tax is capped at 2% max increase a year which is very favorable especially with how much most homes increase a year.
