I’m not missing anything, but it’s amusing to see you crybabies pick apart every reasonable suggestion and why it’s not gooooood enough.
$185k for a fixer upper isn't reasonable, it's not even affordable if you actually look at the numbers.

As a Gen Xer I watch the generation battles with amusement. I have to take up for boomers in a way because they didn't have it as easy as a lot of the younger generation thinks because they weren't around to see it. A lot of the boomers bought their homes in the 70s and 80s. During that 20 years mortgage interests were always higher than they are now. I don't think they were ever lower than 10% in the 80s and topped out over 15%. That is shitty credit card interest during the life of Millenials. My mother was a corporate lawyer and my father was a surgeon and the average millennial has more shite in their house/apartment and toys in the garage than my parents did. They just hit the grind everyday and the 90s came and they made a metric frick ton of money in the market because other than a house they saved money.
The millennials will have their 90s, I'm willing to bet, but if they spend all their money on Temu and iPhone 27s they won't have anything to take advantage of it. Just remember being the victim just incentivizes you to underachieve.

You’ve at least tried to mount a defensible argument, so I thank you for that. That’s a more than I can say for the vomiting drr has done in here.
Although as a Houston resident I find your suggestions for Houston properties indefensible as prudent financial decisions for a single person, much less a family.

Per the Census, the median household income in Starkville is $36K.
They can't even come close to affording that house, even if they have no other debt.

Not near a city center, so no go.
Also, did you really just suggest a house with carpet?

again, Durham, which is one of the top cities in America for millennials, has a higher crime rate. so i'm actually doing you a favor...
For starters, those lists are almost all paid for bullshite.
Second, Durham wasn’t on any of the lists I looked at.
3rd, you think it is a good deal to move to an area that has shitty crime because the crime is actually not as bad as the neighboring major city?

My dad worked his way from driving a van delivering cheap bullshite toys to conveniance stores to station manager for an NBC affiliate and eventually running his own TV production company over the course of 30 years. He spent every bit of his free time on side hustles or doing major improvements to our house on his own, the sale of which allowed them to purchase a vacation home and a McMansion on the good side of town. Then he dropped dead in the driveway of his swanky new house at 53 from a massive heart attack.

The boomers in here have convinced me. Biden and the democrats have American rolling and fixed the glaring issues left behind at the fault of Reagan and other republicans

I have to say… What your generation lacks in grit and perseverance, you certainly make up for in big mouths and general unlikability.
I'm not historically one to blame a generation of people but the more I listen to your age group the more you truly disgust me. You want the younger generations to suffer and you enjoy it.

Goodness, you Doomers are so dramatic.
No, no one “wants” you to suffer. But that’s your takeaway unless you get constant validation about how hard you have it. We get it. Does incessant complaining get y’all off or something?
And quit voting for big government. You and your peers embrace it like few before it and even the older 40 somethings still haven’t turned. You should channel your anger to those people because they’ll be around much longer than the Boomers you hate so much.

There are affordable homes if you are willing to not live in the city and commute.

Or there is some other “It’s Not a City” factor.
Lived in Clinton OK twelve years ago and the 2B1B apartment rent was $450/mo. Was a 15 or 20 minute drive to Walmart (for more things than just groceries),

This could definitely be a solid option that could work for some folks. There's something to be said for not having to pay for your own house repairs.
Significantly cheaper to rent and just put money in a fund where I am.
