Bu but america is the greatest country ever :laff:

Previous generations got educations, health care, and bought property for pennies on the dollar, then turned around and made us sell our entire existence just to get a taste of the things they were handed. fukking scum, making damn near a whole generation homeless and hopeless to outright own anything :pacspit:
This mentality has to stop
Focus on the real bad guys (corporations)

Who really has $50k to put down on a home and $3500 a month for a a mortgage, taxes, utilities and upkeep?

I swear the people who bought homes in the 90's have it good. They probably have $700 mortgage payments.


The general rule is to have 20% down, so 50k would be typical for a 250000 home. There are ways to buy a home w/o a large down payment such as FHA but it typically requires an additional mortgage insurance premium then.

Y'all overreacting. You don't have to put anywhere near $50k down. There's cheap housing all over, just gotta look. In Illinois you can buy a house for $170k easy. And sho ain't paying $3500 on mortgage, more like $850.

Come to NY, where any decent home is 500k, and taxes are $10k +

Yeah you can put less down, but your monthly payment will be higher and you have to pay mortgage insurance.

And there are programs are you only have to put down 3.5%

I feel like some people just talk to talk or don't do enough research

That 3.5% sounds tempting, let’s say you get fha loan, because u are only putting down 3.5%, for the life of your loan you will be required to pay mortgage insurance which doesn’t benefit you, it benefits the bank just in case you default. Some people don’t want to throw away money like that. If you are okay with paying a premium that benefits the services and lender, go for it.

I will say this, if you have to do this or you already have, you can always try to refinance into another investor if your credit will allow it and you won’t have to pay mortgage insurance anymore.

Yes or pay it down to 80% and drop the PMI

25, I’m currently about to wrap up graduate school and even I will tell you that a degree is just another addendum to your repotoire. People are out here going to college expecting life to be perfect afterwards. No. Before you even get the degree, chase your next bag; certificates, internships, side hustles. Do not rest on your laurels.

Some people are paying almost the same in taxes and insurance as their principal and interest.
