Telling people to live in a trailer park to save up for likely a shitty starter home is your response to a hyper inflated housing market


If need be, then yes. Live within your means. It’s what we all did. Here is what starter homes look like…



Or this…



My first house in the early 90s looked like this…



This is not a starter home…

Dude what you posted is a home built in the 50s/60s that was the quintessential middle class home. Now that should be too much for todays middle class? Why? You realize that home is half a million in most places now. That’s the point

Look at this house here. Perfect example of what you say



This home is now currently for sale for 485k in BR.

My starter home looked a lot like your second pic, except brick. I bought it for 198k in 2016 and sold it for 410k in 2021. I just looked at it on Redfin and it’s now valued at 450k.

I’m in Nashville, so yes, different story. But point remains that housing is simply hyper inflated. I couldn’t believe someone offered us over 400k.


Better advice for a young person is to, yes, save, of course. But then just fricking wait on the bubble to burst and have cash on hand and be ready to jump in.

There is no reason to move to a trailer park. You can save your money and have a decent quality of life renting until it makes sense for you to purchase a decent home.
