I sold my first home in California for $125,000 more than I paid for it. That sounds like a win. It was not. Once I accounted for maintenance, opportunity cost, and the real numbers my CPA showed me, I actually left about $100,000 on the table by selling, and I would still make the same decision again.
This video breaks down the real math of owning a home in America as a visa holder, the math most immigrant families never run, and why I turned down rental income, a 2.99% mortgage rate, and a property that had appreciated significantly.
⬇️ WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
• Why the "profit" number everyone quotes on a home sale is misleading
• The real maintenance cost of owning a home over 8 years (HVAC, roof, plumbing, and the small repairs nobody accounts for)
• Opportunity cost: what your down payment and principal could have earned if invested in the S&P 500 instead
• The rent control trap that makes becoming a landlord in California riskier than it looks
• Why renting out a property in one state while living in another can mean paying state income tax twice
• How being on an H1B visa changes the math on owning real estate
• The exact question I asked my CPA that made the decision obvious
