Want To Buy A Starter Home?

[The Irish Ram]

Then you need to fork over one million dollars. This is the Harris/Walz/Biden economy. Vote for Trump before it's too late.

Add to that 30 years of 8% interest and it is simply out of reach for most Americans.

I asked if Trump is the guy you want.

Why wouldn't he be?

kids these days.

if you want a home, and most do, ya got to do the work.

ya got to earn enough to make payments, maintenance, insurance, bills and things i don't remember and kids have never heard of until closing.

ya got to save the down payment and curate your credit

and ya may not get to start with that big house in suburbia that your tradwife covets, (but won't be much help with the payments as she fills the place with new expenses,),

but a small "handyman special" near the edge of town on a lease purchase is still within reach ., don't you think?

With Democrat's prices, most people can't afford to live anymore, let alone be able to save for retirement or a home.

Weak projection.....

How much was the home worth when Biden took office? They could have probably bought it for 300K.

You do realized home equity increases is a good thing right?

Inflation has been at around 2% for decades, until the leftist socialists took power. Now prices are up over 20% in less than four years. Capitalism was working fine until democrats turned it into socialism.

Ummmmmmmmmmmm, not when inflation goes up 25% in less than four years and home prices outpace even that. Home equity is only good for those who already own homes and, even then, if property taxes increase on homeowners who are already having a tough time making ends meet, that is bad. Now we've got ALL prices being high, home prices are literally through the roof, and mortgage rates are too. People can't afford to own and they can't afford to rent either.

I've answered it multiple times. You're just too brain dead to see it.

Trump couldn't and you're no different.

Trump couldn't what? You asked me if Trump was my man and I said yes.

Homeowners insurance is through the roof under Biden/harris too.....Put that in your escrow pipe and smoke it.

Trump couldn't what? You asked me if Trump was my man and I said yes.

I said "I heard Trumps answers at Sturgis. He was asked multiple times and and answered with Drill baby drill.
That's the guy you want?"

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

I agree with drill baby drill. You asked me if Trump is the guy I want and I said yes. What more to it is there?

Maybe you should be honest.

Honest? Honest about what? You continue talking in code. You asked me a question and I answered.

Youre crazy. You have a resource that value has increased because of scarcity. Are you retarded?

Are YOU retarded? When homes have increased in value as much as they have, it makes them unaffordable for those who don't have homes. Add to that mortgage rates which are twice as high as when Biden took office. And, if you do already own a home but are having a hard time making ends meet because prices EVERYWHERE are going up, you can't take yet another hit if they reassess your home and your property taxes go up. Why is it that you people don't give a crap about those worse off than you?

When our one and only home that we hope to occupy until we cannot care for ourselves or die increases in equity at a much higher rate than our income does, it doesn't add a dime to our bank account we use to buy groceries, pay bills, pay for necessities of life. It does add to our bills in higher taxes and insurance while inflation significantly adds to the cost of utilities, any improvements, repairs, ordinary maintenance, etc.

Putting on a new roof now is almost double what it cost in 2019.
