This document provides several financial reasons to buy a home rather than rent, supported by quotes from studies and reports. It argues that owning a home allows homeowners to leverage appreciation through equity building, pay down their own principal over time rather than a landlord's, and can encourage savings. There are also substantial tax benefits to owning and homes generally appreciate to hedge against inflation, unlike rent payments. Data shows homeowners have significantly higher net worth and feel more financially comfortable than renters. With low inventory and rising rents, buying is more affordable both initially and over the long-term for most homeowners.
The document discusses investing in multi-family and commercial real estate properties in the United States. It argues that now is a good time to invest due to historically low interest rates, a shrinking US dollar, and high demand for rental properties. Specifically, it recommends investing in multi-family properties because they provide stable cash flow, appreciation potential, and less risk compared to single family homes. The document also outlines the real estate market cycle and suggests commercial real estate is primed for opportunities in the coming years.
The Housing Bubble and Financial Crisis: A New ViewKevin Erdmann
1) The housing bubble was driven by supply, not credit, as Americans built new homes to reduce costs by moving to more affordable areas.
2) After 2008, housing markets were driven by a credit shock as low-tier home prices collapsed, rather than by addressing the underlying supply issues.
3) Regulators incorrectly treated the crisis as a credit problem rather than a supply problem, cutting home prices, devastating homeowners' equity, and locking many buyers out of the market long-term.
While home prices have increased 12% year-over-year in 2013, the fastest rate since 2006, prices remain below the peak levels seen during the housing bubble and are still undervalued compared to historic norms. Mortgage rates remain low but access to credit has tightened significantly compared to the bubble years, with average borrower credit scores much higher now. Some experts are concerned about the rise in home flipping but others note that investors are putting more of their own money at risk this time rather than relying on easy credit. Overall most data suggests that while the housing recovery is gaining momentum, conditions do not yet point to a new bubble forming across the market.
The document summarizes common myths about the national debt and provides facts to address each myth in 1-3 concise sentences. It discusses that while deficits are smaller than during the recession, the debt will still grow substantially without action. It also notes that the longer action is delayed, the greater cuts or tax increases will need to be. Additionally, gradual deficit reduction can help the economy rather than hurt it, and past plans have protected vulnerable groups. The debt issues also cannot be solved solely by cutting waste, taxing wealthier Americans more, or relying on economic growth alone.
The document discusses housing affordability in the context of the recent housing crisis. It makes three key points:
1) While falling home prices have led to record housing affordability levels, most households entered the downturn already facing high housing costs and few can take advantage of lower prices.
2) Measures of housing affordability and burden show that affordability has only improved to early 2000 levels and many households, especially low- and moderate-income, still face high housing costs.
3) The housing affordability problem is particularly acute in Massachusetts compared to other markets. Most households cannot benefit from lower home prices due to existing high housing cost burdens.
The Economic Outlook for Real Estate Investors and Decision Makers - CCIM Liv...CCIM Institute
The document discusses the state of commercial real estate and the economy. It notes that while the economy is still struggling, commercial real estate is relatively strong compared to other asset classes. Vacancy rates are declining and rents are mixed across property types as capital flows back into the sector. The recovery is uneven across markets, with investors seeking safety in core primary markets and spreading to secondary and inland markets where bidding and capitalization rates are more competitive. Overall, commercial real estate is seen as a stable investment relative to stock and bond alternatives in this uncertain economic environment.
US real estate equity builder Kansas City (usreeb) also refers to producing, buying and selling real estate. Real estate affects the U.S. economy by being a critical driver of economic growth.
Buying a home provides more long-term financial benefits than renting, such as building equity over time, paying a fixed mortgage rate rather than rising rent prices, and potentially gaining value in the home's appreciation. Some advantages of buying include establishing equity in a property, locking in a static monthly payment unlike annual rent hikes, and gaining a sense of community and control over property maintenance. The document also provides statistics on the percentage of income typically needed to afford median rent or home costs and contact information for a bank representative.

This document presents a radical new understanding of the housing bubble and financial crisis. It argues that the crisis was caused by a supply problem, not a credit problem as regulators assumed. Before 2008, housing prices in all areas increased as households moved to cheaper cities to reduce costs. After 2008, the credit shock cut prices significantly and locked many buyers out of the market. However, housing, especially low-end housing, is now undervalued and obstacles to building are pushing down interest rates. Real estate appears risky but was made volatile by a one-time demand shock, so past volatility may indicate future stability. Carefully chosen real estate investments could provide opportunities.

The Congress App and Our Looming Federal Debt Crunch by Neal Dikeman, Liberta...Neal Dikeman
The document discusses the growing US federal debt crisis and its unsustainability. It notes that total federal debt is now over $341,000 per American and exceeds 6 years of average family income. The recent tax cuts and spending bills will add another $12 trillion in debt over the next 10 years. Federal spending is growing in every category much faster than income. The large and growing debt, if not addressed, will lead to higher taxes, inflation, a weaker dollar, and cuts to entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare in the future. Action is needed now to reduce the debt by living within our means, spending freezes, and economic growth rather than kicking the can down the road.
Foreclosures – From a Flood to a DribbleDean Graziosi
It’s been an exciting seven or eight years for real estate investors. The flood of foreclosures that began in late 2006 raged for a couple to three years, then began to subside. All through this time, investors were snapping up properties, doing fix & flip, and turning homes into rentals for long term investment.
1) The document discusses several TIME magazine articles covering the 2008 economic crisis and its aftermath.
2) The articles clearly explain the crisis, its causes, key events and bailouts in a way that is understandable to general readers.
3) While the magazine provides good historical context and analysis, it could improve by more forcefully questioning authorities and providing a clearer course of action for the future.

US landlords will prosper as fewer opt to buy a home - FTWes Graff
Millennials and immigrants are driving increased demand for rental properties in the US as fewer people opt to buy homes. This is benefiting institutional investors who are increasing their allocation to residential real estate due to its attractive long-term income generation. Pension funds see multifamily properties as a stable investment that matches their long-term liabilities. While single-family homes present challenges to manage at scale, rental apartment buildings remain very appealing for large investors.
This document discusses the benefits of homeownership over renting. It summarizes that rent payments over several years will likely exceed the total cost of a mortgage. Mortgage rates remain low and many financing options exist to make purchasing affordable. Homeownership provides tax advantages as mortgage interest and property taxes are deductible. Additionally, homes generally appreciate in value over time. The document recommends speaking with a real estate agent or broker to determine if homeownership is financially feasible given an individual's situation.
America's Rental Housing: Evolving Markets and Needs 2013Amy
This document provides an overview of trends in the US rental housing market from 2004-2013. Key points include:
- Renting increased significantly during this period, with the renter share of households rising from 31% to 35%. This was driven by foreclosures, economic struggles, and a renewed appreciation of renting's benefits.
- Growth was widespread across age groups and included many families. However, renter incomes declined over this period, pushing a record number to pay excessive shares of their income for housing.
- Looking ahead, an aging population and minority household growth will be major drivers of continued demand for rental housing in the coming decade. However, the pace of growth is expected to slow from recent high
Once again, the federal government is running up against the statutory debt limit, which has major implications for the national debt and the U.S. economy. Here’s a basic overview of this critical issue.
This document summarizes an article that discusses the financial crisis and proposed bailout. It provides background on how the housing bubble and subsequent bust led to losses for banks. Mortgage-backed securities spread risk but also enabled excessive leverage. Potential losses total hundreds of billions of dollars. While actual losses so far are smaller, future losses could be larger if housing prices decline further. The bailout aims to prevent cascading bank failures but risks moral hazard by rewarding past poor decisions.
The document discusses responsible and stable economies. A responsible economy issues currency backed by gold and silver, as the US Constitution stipulates. Money is printed by states, not banks, and corresponds to goods and assets. An unstable economy occurs when money supply exceeds assets due to interest-bearing loans from the Federal Reserve. This causes debt, inflation, and currency devaluation. A stable economy has minimal debt, money supply matching assets, and commodity-backed currency without interest. President Kennedy tried to regain money printing power from banks via silver certificates but was unsuccessful. Unchecked money printing causes inflation and risks fiat currency collapse dominated by banks through credit systems.

The outlook is that stimulus spending and falling housing inventory will help stabilize home prices in the coming years.
Ventura County Real Estate Update - Summer 2013John Wise
Real estate values have sharply increased in Ventura County primarily due to low housing supply. Factors driving the increase include high investor demand from large firms and groups as well as all-time low interest rates and pent-up demand. However, the increases may not continue indefinitely as factors like reduced investor demand, higher interest rates, and job growth could influence values going forward.
The new Good Faith Estimate (GFE) form is changing for 2010 to increase transparency. The changes standardize how loan fees are disclosed and the new GFE is structured differently than the previous three-page format. It bundles costs together and does not show who pays certain costs or the monthly payment amount. The initial GFE is now binding under certain circumstances to prevent unexpected costs. Advisors must work as a team to help clients through the refined home loan process under the new GFE guidelines.
This assignment discusses how managers can help employees improve their emotional intelligence. It examines how emotional intelligence impacts service levels and satisfaction in the workplace. Managers should lead by example and communicate the benefits of emotional intelligence. They can encourage journaling and listening to employees. Managers should also teach communication skills like understanding body language and active listening. They should help employees think positively and teach conflict resolution skills. Employees with strong emotional intelligence have good relationship management and social awareness, allowing them to better empathize with customers and improve satisfaction levels and productivity.
Errors in Computing- Runtime, Semantics, Syntax and Fixed and Floating pointRyon Whyte
This document contains information about discrete math coursework for a management information systems student. It discusses the different types of numbers in computing, including floating point numbers which allow for a varying number of digits after the decimal point, and fixed point numbers which have a fixed number of digits after the decimal point. It also outlines four common types of errors in computing: syntax errors which involve incorrect code syntax; semantics errors which involve using commands in the wrong context; logic errors which produce unexpected output; and runtime errors which cause program termination due to bugs or unanticipated problems.

China-Middle East Relations in Light of Obama's Pivot to the PacificRobert R. Bianchi
This document summarizes China's growing relations with the Middle East and how those relations are impacted by the US "pivot" to Asia under Obama. It discusses how China views the Middle East as strategically important for trade and security. It also analyzes how the US is concerned about China's expanding influence in the region and broader Eurasia. The US "pivot" aims to counter China's influence, but may be misguided as many countries need China more economically. The document explores China's historical narratives around the Mongol Empire and Admiral Zheng He that portray peaceful expansion. It also discusses how China now strongly supports Islam within its borders through religious freedom and economic opportunities for Muslims.
Mountaintop removal mining (MTR) is a surface mining practice that involves blasting off mountaintops to access coal deposits. It permanently changes the landscape and is harmful to both the environment and human health. The MTR process involves clearing trees, blasting away rock and soil with explosives, digging up coal with giant machines, dumping waste from mining in valleys which buries over 2,000 miles of streams, and attempting to reclaim the land through reforestation. However, the reclaimed land is often unable to fully support healthy tree growth and wildlife. MTR has significant negative impacts through pollution, destruction of biodiversity, and health risks for nearby communities.
The document discusses various forms of religious travel in Islam, including the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, visits to holy sites, study at religious schools, and missionary work. It describes how religious travel helps connect Muslims around the world, fostering both a universal Islamic identity and regional identities. Key cities like Konya, Yogyakarta, Kano, and Kashgar are discussed as important hubs for religious travel that blend spiritual and worldly activities and link their regions to Mecca.
The Hajj and Politics in Contemporary Turkey and IndonesiaRobert R. Bianchi
This document discusses how politics influences the Hajj pilgrimage in Turkey and Indonesia. It notes that both countries have large Muslim populations and have helped expand the modern Hajj. However, their political systems differ - Turkey has a dominant Islamic party while Indonesia has weak parties with ambiguous religious positions. This affects how Hajj quotas are distributed. In Turkey, participation rates have remained stable by region and correlate with support for Islamic parties. In Indonesia, rates have shifted dramatically between regions as democratic reforms took hold after Suharto. Political factors thus strongly shape each country's Hajj patterns.
Basic Instrumentation- Introduction to Surgical Technology! :)Amber Mitchell
This document provides an overview of common surgical instruments used in basic instrumentation. It lists various retractors like the Balfor and Adson-Beckman used to retract wound edges and internal organs. Forceps are also discussed including tissue forceps like the Allis and Adson used to grasp delicate tissues. Needle holders and needle drivers are mentioned such as the Heaney and Lahey Tenaculum. Scissors are briefly covered including the Mayo scissors used for blunt dissection and the Metzenbaum for cutting and delicate dissection. Suture scissors and various handle sizes for instruments are also noted.
Ryon Whyte gave a speech to grade 9 students about misinterpretation. He defined misinterpretation as wrongly explaining or translating something, which can happen accidentally or intentionally. He provided examples like how Valentine's Day traditions started in Japan due to a miscommunication. Misinterpretation can also occur due to tone of voice, body language, or personal biases. To avoid misinterpretation, he recommended clarifying messages, not assuming, focusing on key information, and having relatable discussions instead of giving orders. The goal is open communication to prevent misunderstandings.
Islamic Globalization and Its Role in China's FutureRobert R. Bianchi
This document discusses Islamic Globalization and its role in China's future. It describes Islamic Globalization as a combination of religious, economic, political, and diplomatic advances that are transforming the Muslim world. These include the hajj and religious travel, capitalism and Islamic finance, democracy and Islamic modernism, as well as new international regimes. The document argues that Islamic Globalization allows modern Muslims to join the mainstream of international life while reforming it, and that these goals are also pursued by China.

1. Financial Reasons to Buy
Reason Quote from Harvard Report
Housing is the one
leveraged investment
available
“Homeownership allows households to
amplify any appreciation on the value of
their homes by a leverage factor.”
You're paying for housing
whether you own or rent
“Homeowners pay debt service to pay
down their own principal while households
that rent pay down the principal of a
landlord.”
Owning is usually a form
of “forced savings”
“Having to make a housing payment one
way or the other, owning a home can
overcome people’s tendency to defer
savings.”
There are substantial tax
benefits to owning
“Homeowners are able to deduct
mortgage interest and property taxes from
income.”
Owning is a hedge
against inflation
“Housing costs and rents have tended
over most time periods to go up at or
higher than the rate of inflation, making
owning an attractive proposition.”

that the fee reduction will

along with many trade-up
buyers, resulting in 90,000 to

purchases based on the standard
affordability limits at the FHA and
conventional market and dynamics
in the housing finance market.”
