VERY SAD NEWS: 2 Somali youths killed in Toronto!

[Alphanumeric]

The face I made.... there's no smiley for it. Damn.

[truther]

I feel like moving. It shouldn't be too bad for Somalis then, they should buy houses. Here, it is just getting worse. The French started taxing the shit out of the rich. Those rich cunts along along with all the other rich cunts from unstable countries keep buying houses here. Russian bastards have been buying houses here like crazy since the start of the year 2000. Thanks to the Olympics, they gentrified some of the poorest (and cheapest) parts of London and now they will sell it to more hipster idiots. I hope the housing market crashes. I can't wait for this useless government to leave office. They just made everything worse.

This has been happening all across Toronto for the last decade. My neighbourhood won't be here in 2 years.

It's getting out of hand. They will be heading for my part of London soon. I will stab the next hipster I see. How can you say "bruv you comin this summer to my dad's yacht. it's gonna be large", as you get out of a Range Rover? FUCK YOU.

They have been sending poor families to other poor parts of the country. They keep telling them, we don't have any more space in whatever borough but they just built a set of condos. Cunts.

Alpha - It's almost all the States, I check out Cali from time to time, just to see. Sacramento & San Jose are fairly affordable. Florida too.

accident - Yeah, London has always been hella expensive. But, I think if one can find a way of financing it, it beats renting.

Houses here were over-inflated, it was only a mater of time before the bubble burst. They're actually at their realistic values as is indicative with their foreclosure prices (this is what the bank estimates this house cost to build: both labor & material + inflation years).

This house is selling for $99k today as a foreclosure, but was once over $240k. It's all a scam the banks use to bilk people out of money they never had.

Add that to the sub-prime mortgage loans people were pushed in to who could not afford these homes to start with, then lost their jobs= widespread bank foreclosures.

Then the skinnies, Oromos, Eris, Vietnamese, Kurds, Armenians all descended on these homes i.e. people who could never afford these homes.

Wallahi that's great. At least some of the poor could take advantage of it. I hope the housing market crashes man. Houses here the size of the ones in your pictures could easily go into the millions, depending on what area you buy it in.

[Twist]

Damn, man! Houses are cheap in the States & everyone who has money should buy it now.

Here, 3 bedroom houses are about half a million.

I saw it on the news here that even some Aussies were buying foreclosing houses in the US & thought about it briefly but couldn't take the risk since I live far away & don't know a lot about real estate.

Cali, huh? I never saw myself living in the States. Unfortunately those two cities are no-goes for me

If the housing bubble doesn't burst up here, then I won't be buying a home in North America, unfortunately.

Koronto,

How's the house you bought in cash down there? Lots of folks are short selling these days.

I bought it outright, don't need to short-sell it. Bought it strictly as an investment because it was a bank owned foreclosure in a prime area in Decatur, snatched it after surviving a few multiple offers. Place came with a lot of issues (septic problems, kitchen was a mess, yard work, deck was falling apart, etc.) It's been 3 years now and have done a lot of work to it, except for utilities, the only other expense is property tax (with a homestead exemption it comes out to around $400/year), haven't paid rent in all this time, no homeowners association fees either, it's a pretty sweet set-up. I don't even cut my lawn anymore, man. I've this black dude that cuts it for me every 2 weeks for a good deal, no termite issues, newer house so no lead or asbestos, fairly winterized (our winters are mild anyway). I applied for a federal grant to help pay for it, too. Milked the system best way I knew how. Plus, I can always sell it for 2x-3x what I paid for it, liquid capital in my pocket. Never dealt with mortgage and it's headache, just the homeowner insurance I bundle with my auto insurance, and with an alumni discount from my Alma mater, not that expensive. Never understood people who choose to stick to crummy apartments and help pay for another person's lifestyle. Shit ain't right.

This beauty just closed for $60k, I know the dude who bought it.

yeah, I remember seeing the prices in GA and other states.

In my area, you can forget about DC.. the whole city is overpriced in terms of property. The 1990s was the time to buy especially in places like Capitol Hill, Columbia Heights, etc when they were still ghetto but you could buy a house for $40k. Now they sell for $500k

Outside of DC, you can definitely find cheap houses in Virginia once you get way outside the Beltway.

In Maryland, the one area where you can get good deals off of auctions or foreclosures is close to Baltimore. I saw a house about 15 miles north of where I live (Laurel, MD) and a similar sized house to my parents was going for $150k

The suburbs in Baltimore are very similar to the prices in those ATL suburbs. Cause in Baltimore, SO many houses were built during the mortgage boom, the bubble burst and no one could afford to live in them. So the prices came wayyy down... one of my dad's friends, this somali guy who lives in VA and commutes to Baltimore where his businesses are, bought two houses at $50k each, paid one off and will pay the other one off next year.

You folks are oversimplifying this.
