Hmmm. Was thinking the incentives would be more tax-related...

Property tax will be factored into the sale now

Remember we aren't talking about people that can't easily afford these properties. Investment outlook will be expectedly different

They are simply big players

I have no doubt homes grow in value, my question is more about the advantage of cash down full payment vs leveraging the same amount.

Leveraging is highly susceptible to market forces and the assets aren't truly yours so they can be disposed off at a loss as they deem fit when you default

The domino effect experienced during the subprime crash by quite a lot of property investors comes to mind

Your own fully paid home can easily ride the wave if you aren't exposed to the same market forces

Is that because they cannot easily get a loan from the bank leaving them with no option but to pay in full? What exactly is the incentive for them..

Demand being constant

Future Value of asset is sort guaranteed because demand stays constant

Those are the incentives

I beg to disagree.

How does demand/short supply make an investment safe after it's been fully paid for?

Using this same hypothetical scenario, the person pays $800k cash for the property with no fallback fund. Let's assume he/she loses the job/source of income, although there will be no mortgage payments or rent, other living expenses will still be there.

If the same person had split the $800k into 4, and used $200k each as a down payment for 4 separate properties, in the case of any unforeseen event, there would be extra income from 3 properties, and those income can even be used to pay off the main residence. Plus he could borrow more from the bank using any of those properties as collateral.

I know people have different risk profiles, but cash down payment in my opinion is actually riskier.

I didn't know the argument was based on fully paid investment

Thought the figure was for downpayment

So yeah you are bang on point

Well since I live in London I rather go to Oxford cos it will cost me more to relocate to the US for Harvard .

You obviously don't get it do you?

You don't necessarily have a business going to oxford if you intend studying electrical engineering since MIT delivers the best value

I don't think you minimise risk by tying such an amount down. Infact, it's the reverse, especially if there is no fallback fund anywhere else.
Option 2 I see reason with.

You actually do if you consider the following:

Demand and short supply is certainly the dynamics dictating the outrageous price and that will sort of make your investment safe and somewhat assured on the future value ish

Whereas spreading the money across the same asset class but different locations will have to worry about oversupply

As an example, institutional investors rarely invest in low end properties due to the same issues outlined above

Why would anyone with $800k cash even tie it down into a single asset when you can spread it around and leverage?

Minimise risk
Longer term outlook
OR
It's simply a home not an investment

How does the three u listed up there not available in the EU ? Ie Germany and France ?
And talking about EU . Are we talking Nigerians EU or Eu Eu ?

Why do they bother rating the universities If the quality is the same across the continent?

Value for money simply means you get more value attending the best schools

Ggggggrrrrrhhhhhhhhh

If it's going to cost you roughly the same amount of money to attend Harvard/MIT or London Met, which would you choose?

What you are saying still done add up . Why would EU citizens come here to get student loans when thier own educational standard is cheaper than the one of the UK ?

Value for money
Specialist courses
Access to specialised market
International appeal


erico2k2:

2nd . Loans are for full time student . So after getting your stay how do you propose to be a full time student ?
Coming from the EU to get a loan is now challenging cos of brexit
I guess you've concluded loan is usually sourced from a single provider which isn't the case.

Okay bro, now i feel your pain.
I'm not gonna start a nasty argument on a faceless forum, if you would like to express your "team-single-till-i-die-is-the-way-of-life-rule'', kindly take it up with the OP

Like i saidwrote earlier,i feel your pain brother, we've all been there. All the best. Please note the word is spelt It is 'marriageable'

We don't have to engage in nasty arguments na.

So here is a background Info about me.. I'm happily married with a wonderful 10 year boy BUT i've met enough women that doesn't share the traditional views about marriage. You will agree that there isn't a one size fits all approach to love right?
That's the point i'm trying to make you see

Marriage is good no doubt but it doesn't guarantee happiness if that's the desired end result

How old are you?
I'm talking to people within a 'marriageable' age with 'marriage' as their ultimate goal before jumping into a relationship with someone who wants something else.


Probably Way older than you and i'm certain my exposure has enabled me see things differently.

Marriage isn't the ultimate and heck what's a marriagable age and who determines it?

Don't you think that's the nonsensical societal pressure that possibly makes these girls make mistakes that in turn warranted this thread?

Ladies, BE SMART! I repeat: BE SMART.

The 3 compulsory-default questions in your "Getting to know you phase'' with any guy should be;

1. Are you married?
2. Is anyone married to you?
3. Please i'm begging you in the name of God, are you married?

That's IF marriage is your ultimate goal in life

Some people are perfectly comfortable just being in a loving relationship ya know

I don't think it is about materialism. Although some questions are not necessary but I cannot discard question 1 and 3. Some ladies fall for the location and could care less about how he makes his money. Some ladies who want responsibile suitors will choose not to fall in love with an obodo oyinbo guy if they knew certain things like means of income or immigration status.



Majority of the suggested questions won't necessarily provide valuable insight on the likelihood of them having a successful relationship

How do you even go about verifying the claims if you focus your attention on them?

Yes it's good to find out what he does but the onus is on you to pay attention to his/pattern as words alone don't go far in my books

How does a fancy car being owned/financed turn into a predictive measure used in determining the outcome of a potential union? Any smart person should realise spending habit is usually dictated by age and responsibilities or lack thereof. It's not unusual to see a 21 year old buying an expensive car whilst still living at home since his/her disposable income isn't necessarily dictated by the liabilities.


What's wrong with these sort of questions:

Where do you see yourself in a couple of years
Why didn't your last relationship work
What views do you have with marriage especially around finances
Are you comfortable with empowered women or prefer sit at home bimbos
et al

Why should a potential partner focus on what they are likely to gain materially from the union though?

That's not marrying for love but for selfish interest

I'm still finding it hard to understand the point the OP is trying to make when it isn't like they are bringing equity to the table

Shior!!!!!

Our politicians don't do mortgage. They just present a debit card and swipe the whole $400,000

Fiction of your imagination as it rarely works like that

PEP's (Politically exposed persons) usually go through a whole lot of web to hide stuff like that

Besides, you usually have to provide evidence of where the funds are coming when buying a house

So using the credit card more and being able to pay on time, increasing your limit? And having more limit increases your ability to get say mortgage approval for instance?

Using the credit card and never missing payments proves you are responsible borrower
Using credit cards with high available funds and keeping the balance low suggests you have little or no financial red flag

Mortgage approval is based on a combination of things:
1) Credit rating
2) Affordability

So to answer your question, your ability to access more credit via multiple credit cards will reduce your ability to access a large mortgage once they factor your salary into the equation. It's all about risk appetite for the banks
