Between my wife and I, we qualify for all of them, but with our student loans, I can assure you we cannot afford homes in most of those markets

It's almost like giving out vast sums of government money causes prices to soar.

Someone should look into this.

Are we pretending Trump didn't put his name on checks? Are we also pretending Biden didn't steal Trump's idea and give out another round?

But keep cheering for the douchebag over the shite sandwich.

This is completely false and inaccurate. You can’t afford a shack with an income of 160k in Austin.

It’s very tough to find real estate that cash flows in major cities, particularly in desirable areas. Big money people/corporations buy these properties knowing they won’t cash flow and bank on the appreciation. Us little guy REI can’t hang.

These numbers are not even close.

Houston? I'd say six figures easy to afford a house.

Austin? Id say 200k
