Leader Funding, Inc. 很快就要开学,子女上大学的家长会发现,学校宿舍太贵,可能不划算。那么,是否应该为孩子在学校附近买房? 如果你的孩子不久以后就要去上大学,或者现在是大一新生,仍需住在学校宿舍,你可能会被宿舍高昂的住宿费吓到。 College Data一份研究报告称,2019-2020学年度数据显示,公立大学年均食宿费是1万1500元,私立大学是1万2990元。 在大城市如纽约的哥伦比亚大学,单单在校住宿费一年是8718元(上图)。在大城市以外的大学城,住宿成本可能更加高昂。例如,在伯克莱加大,在校住宿费至少1万1000元(下图)。 昂贵的宿舍周边生活可能不便利,如果在校外租房,环境也未必好。那麽为什麽不直接一步到位买房,在孩子居住的同时出租赚钱呢? 如果您给孩子买房,孩子打算和同学合住的情况下,您就可以通过收取房租赚钱。此外,如果您有好几个孩子都要上大学,那买房也是不错的选择。 专家建议,在决定是否给孩子买房时,应考虑以下几个问题: 第一,孩子会在学校地区待多久?要想收回买房的成本,需要很长时间。如果您的孩子只会在学校地区住一到两年,或者未来不确定,买房可能就不太划算。 第二,学校周边地区房市如何?给孩子买这类房子和投资房地产在很多情况下是一样的,只要能从中获利,或者收支相抵,这笔投资才有意义。因此,您需要考虑的是学校周边房市的情况。例如,房价未来会涨会跌?周边经济是否景气?如果都是正面的回答,做这样一笔房地产投资就是不错的选择。 第三,如果不买房,其他住宿开支是高是低?不要因为买房而冲昏头脑,您应该冷静计算一下,买房和租房的成本对比。首先应该计算当地的房价、首付款、房贷利率和税率,以及物业费等等,然后在对比当地平均的租房成本。如果买房成本的确较小,再决定买房。 第四,谁来负责房屋维护?房地产投资的一个重要问题,就是确定如何维护房子,这一点对年轻人买房尤为重要。毕竟,开派对是大学生活的重要组成部分,因此弄坏房屋设施有时不可避免。如果房子离大城市较近,您可以自己做维护,如果不是这样,您可能就得找一位当地专业人员。因此,这方面成本也要计算进来。 第五,当地税率如何?房产税是买房时不得不考虑的一个问题。 第六,如果孩子在未来搬走,您会将房子出租吗?如果孩子毕业了,房子裡没有屋主,这时,将房子出租是个不错的选择,毕竟新生入学源源不断,绝不会缺乏需求。 新媒体广告策划 往微信群丢名片、砸海报、甩二维码 瞬间被踢飞,或者没人理? 资讯软文营销 你的文案专家 无论你是房地产经销、贷款专员, 还是保险经纪,或从事其他行业 我们将为你—— …
