totally fine living in it for the long haul, but if i wanted to upgrade as my pay scales, would this be a bad property investment/rental?

Generally speaking new builds are sps

hoa are whatever but personally wouldn’t put myself in a spot where someone can tell me what I can and can’t do to my property

It completely depends on HOA fees & rules.

It also helps if you volunteer to work on the HOA.

All this demonstrates is that a Baby Boomer could, at 32 or 33, buy a $2million home with a 3-car garage in Southern California, wear an Omega, and drink orange juice by the carton all while maintaining a perfectly trim figure.

Generally your property will hold value much more with an HOA. You want a bunch of Karen's to stop people from parking 10 beat up cars on the lawn or having a lawn or weeds.

New build varies greatly. I think generally a lower end new build will probably retain value. A higher end, custom new build will not since you're relying on people valuing the same thing you do. Id assume you're going to get 50% on the dollar MAX on any upgrades or customizations.

im on my second new build. i had almost no issues with my first one. with my second one, there were some issues but all fixed properly under warranty in the first year. we are now at year 5 and no new issues.

dealing with home issues is a pain in the ass. buying new build helps you avoid quite a bit of that.

both houses are also in hoa. i have had no problems with them, but tbh i am a bit of a rule-follower. frankly i wish the current hoa was stricter.

lmfao at ever buying a house with an HOA.

May as well get a condo in Ratfuck City at that point.

All the HOA hate is dumb unless you’re in an Elite neighborhood where it’s redundant. If you have too many proles or URMs they’ll all do dumb shit imho. You only hear about the most egregious Karens.

I'd live in my car before an HOA. Just buy a decent place in a good neighborhood.

my first two homes were in HOA neighborhoods

first was a boomer infested golf course community and holy shit boomer legit have nothing better to do than bother you all fucking day

second was some zoomer community and they really dont give a fuck about anything but holy shit newer homes are really badly built

now im out in the sticks, like it takes an hour to get to the nearest store and that store is some janky little mom and pop place, pure fucking heaven, i do whatever i want whenever i want and the few "neighbors" i have all look out for each other
