When I was a kid my single mom couldn’t afford anything close to her work so she bought a hundred year old house and 20 acres out in the country about 45 min from the city for $22k (in 1985). We worked for 5 years fixing it up and sold it for $160k.
We did the same thing a little closer and she sold t for $400k. She’s now worth over 2 million.
Everyone thinks they deserve the best without needing to sacrifice

Except these homes are now going for massive amounts too. I toured a house that obviously had foundation damage, and some moron paid 480k for it.

I remember those days.. But that was before tv shows like "flip this house."
Right now. I get an average of 3 texts and 3 calls per day by people wanting to buy my house... plus stuff in the mail...
I saw a sign today for a manager at taco bell. Starting pat $12 per hour.. How can they afford a house today?
