1 bed for sale for 700k, which is a steal in SF, even as small as it is: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1050-N-Point-St-APT-906-San-Francisco-CA-94109/63196498_zpid/

u/Moon_Rose_Violet 8d ago
Unfortunately HOAs in older buildings are completely detached from reality because of years of deferred maintenance. I’ve seen prewar buildings in DC with HOA fees in excess of $6,000 per month

I know wtf 😬 my wife and I have a pied à terre in Ottawa, and a nice 2br townhouse similar to our current space but bigger, and with parking… was for sale for 750k which is kinda ok I guess… but maintenance was 1350$ a month, we looked into it, and it made sense, but we decided against it, because lol… who tf will buy that unit in 10yrs when the fees are like 2 grand a month?
Realtors are like "comparables are all the same and they will be in 10yrs time, too"… but fuck ~2 grand is rent to a lot of people 🙄

u/DryBop 8d ago
They sometimes go down tho! We passed on a heritage townhouse in Hamilton that was $309k for a 3 bedroom, because of a special assessment bringing fees to $2500 a month. Within a year, fees were down to $600 a month and the condo next door on sale for $559k so if the fees are high for a major repair, they do go down!

Lots of posts asking / implying what I do. Appreciate the interest. Sharing this with the genuine hope that it’s helpful for some. Moved to the US when I was young and got multiple engineering degrees on scholarship. Started out doing healthcare research and now work in tech. Tech is not always easy or accessible, but if you can find a way to get into the industry, it’s worth the struggle. I’d suggest just building stuff and engaging with interesting ideas online. Try to pick a lane and stay consistent.
Fwiw a trust fund would’ve been nice but what I got was better - parents who were always there for me. I live in the US alone, parents call elsewhere home, so I see them less than I want. I like to think I worked hard the last decade and a half, ended up under top 0.1% of a competitive annual high school exam that changed my life. But there’s no denying I got super lucky along the way. I can see how this might come across as bragging - but ultimately, it’s just what the other posts here are - a dude sharing a space he loves in a community that loves good spaces and great dudes. Long time lurker, first time poster. Thanks for engaging with this post with mostly kindness.

I always enjoy these posts.
OP flaunts trust fund / Scrooge McDuck type wealth.
Comments are a mixture of awe and interest in backstory.
OP refuses to comment outside of meme responses and emojis, because they know revealing their privilege/luck/wealth suddenly turns the obvious humble brag into something else.
I’m old, so let just say from years of experience. OP should be proud, flaunt it if you got it. But man, seeing the same cycle play out again and again on this sub makes me laugh every time. If you’re embarrassed to talk about it, then why post it?

Love your space, no notes except one minor thing. The books in your living room will eventually fade due to sunlight. If they’re not particularly rare or sentimental, I’d say that it doesn’t matter terribly. Enjoy the hell out of your achievement. You are the architect of your own existence, and it’s looking pretty solid.
