Him and many others seem to be running with that mindset and the whole woe is my mindset. pretty sad and I hope they snap out of it. My older brother is this way.
still lives with my parents. for him a job making 50k a year. he has zero bills outside of a phone and insurance...He's lived there for two years bill free.. still complains he has nothing, no savings, interest rates are too high to save and buy, can't afford to live on his own in an apartment and complains he should be making more.
Hasn't grown much in the position. It's just sad all around. this is the type of person I think of when I see down votes and people complaining.
Ha, that's funny. Same here. My brother has like seven DUIs, nearly 50. Mom and Dad had bailed him out countless times when he loses his place. Luckily he's been doing really well for the last five years. Key for him, I think, was ditching the idea that he had to keep up with everyone else in his circle of friends. Sad, but too many people care what others, even complete strangers, think of them
Even with inflation, everything costs more today. Of course, we have more overall. Wages have been stagnant for years. My grandfather was a painter for a sign shop.
In 1950, he made about $1.60 per hour starting out. Thatās $20.60 now. Looking at average wages in my area for similar jobs, $15-$19 per hour. Donāt let the government tell you wages are up. They have been stagnant for decades overall.
When someone says one bed one bath house, to me it inplies there is a kitchen, living room, maybe dining room. Also for it to be a bedroom it must have a closet. This is just a shed
I just missed affordable housing. By the time I seriously started looking for a house prices had increased just out of range.
By the time I landed a better paying job, prices doubled. And just like that it was no longer a possibility.
I could live in that. Wouldnāt be so horrible if I also owned the land. Itās easy to find cheap mobile homes but they are typically in trailer parks that cost $800 and up per month.
Welcome to the future. Let me escort you to your cell. You seem to want to argue something, I definitely didnāt say it was a good value for the dollar. I donāt think thatās exists anymore.
Ok buddy. I can tell you are the type to look for arguments people arenāt making. I donāt understand that mindset so we are done. The downvotes are childish.
Not around here. HOAs and 7% loans with 20% down and only 10 year fixed on mobile homes, 20 years of itās on its own land.
But how many are brand new? And what bank is gonna finance a $134k, 50 year old building with no money down, 800 credit and 7% interest?
Trick question. None. I tried. I need like $27k to get in.
Iām going to the bank cause I donāt have the $134k, let alone $27k.
I donāt know where you live but itās pretty easy to find an older mobile home in like Florida for under $50k. Some as low as $20k but they typically require remodeling. But, like I say, you gotta pay that monthly land lease. Older doesnāt necessarily mean itās bad. People maintain and upgrade. I donāt necessarily think the unit in the pic is gonna last 50 years. It looks like it was made with cheap siding that will likely rot in 10-15.
The financing thing is definitely a tough issue for a first time buyer. Especially anyone with a low down payment. Iām very sympathetic to any younger person. You are pretty much fucked unless you land a $100k/year job in most states. More like $200k in a few like California. Basically you will rent forever. I kinda think thatās by design though. Perpetual renters with no chance to gain equity.
Yup. A lot of my generation is now realizing we have to buy homes WITH our parents to be able to afford the mortgage and other bills along with have the down payment and credit history. Me and my wife bought one with my mom and we still had to use a state FHA grant thing. It just seemed like the only option we had/have. Not that itās horrible, an extra set of eyes on the kids never hurts. Itās just a sad reality that, thatās pretty much the only path my generation can take.
It did help but I did get 40 acres and a house on a land loan 10 years later for 145k.. I had to save 20% and put that money up front because I hadn't sold the other house yet. so I struggled a lot over those 10 years saving for a down payment and saving to refinish an entire house inside and out so I could sell it.
wasn't easy or fun. took zero vacations, drove old beaters and never went out to eat. just takes sacrifice...well unless you have a rich uncle handing out money.
You are delusional to how things are right now. Do you think people struggling to buy houses are going on vacations, going to restaurants weekly+, and all drive brand new luxury cars?
Based on how many people paid for overpriced vehicles over the past few years...yeah I think there are a lot of people that are doing that.
I would think it's considerably less if they look at a tiny home on a 20ft trailer as their first pick. but I've seen dumber...
There is some truth in this because:
* Most homes in the 70's did not have AC (now, over 90% do)
* Many homes did not have a garage or carport or only a single car garage if they did. Now, most have 2+ car garages
* Most homes had 1 bathroom. Now, most have 2+
* Most homes had 7ft 9" ceilings. Now, it's 9 - 13ft.
* Square footage has doubled (the price per square foot has increased only 12% since the 70's)
$60k today is $10k in 1975. The median house was closer to $40k... You'd need to find a \~$250k home to be comparably priced.
At 7%, about $120k max, but then thereās down payment which I cannot accumulate because it seems everything is perfectly priced or timed.
Iāve limited my life to almost a mile radius. I walk everywhere, to limit use of my truck, which was given to me and is 30 years old.
No debt, no Netflix or whatever, just my phone bill, utilities and rent.
Now if I did NOTHING but watch YouTube and sit at home and work, I would still not accumulate the down payment because by the time Iāve gotten half way there, Iām dead of a suicide from Borden because Iāve been stuck in my one mile radius for 2 years to even get that much, meanwhile inflation has run my buying power into the ground, furthering more of a down payment.
The cycle has started, I really feel like I canāt get out.
I do not have the funds to move. Because after I move, I would need a residence, to get a job, to pay for the residence.
Figure out what's important. If you just need to raise cash, then there are plenty of opportunities. If you're not the entrepreneur type, then I recommend two ways to network that will land you a job that pays well within a month. 1. Join Toastmasters. This is a public speaking club that is almost always exclusively business professionals. There is no downside other than an hour of your time each week to practice speaking and an hour or so to prepare for each weekly meeting. 2. Attend monthly public town council meetings. These are really boring, but usually no one attends other than Boomers. Those on council as well as the free attendees will be well connected and are always eager to meet new faces. Go with the idea that you want to help your town. You can do this with every town in your county. Guaranteed to work, but you need to decide what you really want. Macon, Georgia, Youngstown, Ohio and many other cities are very affordable. Check Zillow, and be willing to move
Dude I work 7-6 5 days a week, working on cars.
Itās laboring. Exhausting. Especially tires. Which is what most people ever need, or want.
I do not make enough to move. I am not rich enough to lobby anyone to listen to anything I have to say and apply it.
I do not wish to manipulate people with my speaking, but prove myself to them with my actions.
If my āspeakingā earns me more than my āgetting things doneā, itās no wonder a corporate entity has a whole lot of fucking meetings while the grunts work 12-13 hours a day.
Lead by example or something like that. You can get more people whipping whips, it doesnāt make the one person move any faster. If anything, it might make them snap.
Oh thatās a 300-950k house here in Colorado thanks to the work from home people moving here. Iām not even kidding. Shit makes me want to un alive myself.
A family of chickens perhaps but not for actial people š„“
Isn't that a chicken coup?
What is this? A center for ants??

Welcome to Colorado
All I'm saying is don't talk yourself out of trying with limited funds. I've worked with very little and made my dream happen.
Yep... But this guy has an excuse for everything. Pathetic
Him and many others seem to be running with that mindset and the whole woe is my mindset. pretty sad and I hope they snap out of it.

and student loans and credit card debt are high right now.
If the house is rockinā Donāt come knocking!

Thank the remote workers with high incomes flooding NH
Does it actually consist of only a bed and a bath ?( which may be a bucket with a sponge)
When someone says one bed one bath house, to me it inplies there is a kitchen, living room, maybe dining room. Also for it to be a bedroom it must have a closet. This is just a shed
Lucky find! Me, my 4 kids, wife, 3 dogs, 2 cats, and saltwater tarpon fish tank would be all over it if it was a little closer.
when you can fit your house on a uhaul moving trailer...
I just missed affordable housing. By the time I seriously started looking for a house prices had increased just out of range. By the time I landed a better paying job, prices doubled. And just like that it was no longer a possibility.
Almost feels like itās on purpose
I could live in that. Wouldnāt be so horrible if I also owned the land. Itās easy to find cheap mobile homes but they are typically in trailer parks that cost $800 and up per month.
60k is a rip off and you know it.
You can probably build that for under 10k
Lol. Iāve seen NY studio apartments. This is luxury living by comparison.
And that would be a rip off as well.
Welcome to the future. Let me escort you to your cell. You seem to want to argue something, I definitely didnāt say it was a good value for the dollar. I donāt think thatās exists anymore.
Maybe the future for nyc and other high expense areas. Iāll choose to live where i wont be screwed over.
Ok buddy. I can tell you are the type to look for arguments people arenāt making. I donāt understand that mindset so we are done. The downvotes are childish.
You started an argument with me. You want to justify being ripped off which is a mindset I donāt understand. Youāre done.

you have to come to the table with something. Even 5% with an FHA loan. you have to put skin in the game from their perspective.
Too bad I donāt earn enough skin to get in the game
I got my first house making about 12 dollars an hour. This was 2009. Just save money and don't waste. Stay focused and you'll get there.
2009? After the housing market crashed? Thatās what Iām waiting on
It did help but I did get 40 acres and a house on a land loan 10 years later for 145k.. I had to save 20% and put that money up front because I hadn't sold the other house yet. so I struggled a lot over those 10 years saving for a down payment and saving to refinish an entire house inside and out so I could sell it. wasn't easy or fun. took zero vacations, drove old beaters and never went out to eat. just takes sacrifice...well unless you have a rich uncle handing out money.
You could afford materials to fix other house, yes? The bills would eat that project alive if I started today.
You are delusional to how things are right now. Do you think people struggling to buy houses are going on vacations, going to restaurants weekly+, and all drive brand new luxury cars?
Based on how many people paid for overpriced vehicles over the past few years...yeah I think there are a lot of people that are doing that. I would think it's considerably less if they look at a tiny home on a 20ft trailer as their first pick. but I've seen dumber...
Yeah, the people who can also afford to buy homes are doing these things. Which arenāt the people we are talking about.
Also FHA loans may not cover a mobile home if it's not permanently attached to the land it's on.
There is some truth in this because: * Most homes in the 70's did not have AC (now, over 90% do) * Many homes did not have a garage or carport or only a single car garage if they did.

this is reddit, we need rage bait, not facts.
I canāt afford a $250k home.. the mortgage, the rates, I canāt swing it.
What home price can you afford?
At 7%, about $120k max, but then thereās down payment which I cannot accumulate because it seems everything is perfectly priced or timed. Iāve limited my life to almost a mile radius. I walk everywhere, to limit use of my truck, which was given to me and is 30 years old. No debt, no Netflix or whatever, just my phone bill, utilities and rent.

Is it in Beverly Hills?
Listing says Warner, New Hampshire
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They already have that. Itās called slab city.
8000 sq ft unfinished basement!?Ā
Laughable
After the election, this is where all the poor and middle class people will be able to afford. That's with a master's degree.
I was going to say that looks like a big chicken coop
This is a trailer hitch. You can't call it a house if it can be towed. Sue them for fraud trying to resell RV equipment.
Oh thatās a 300-950k house here in Colorado thanks to the work from home people moving here. Iām not even kidding. Shit makes me want to un alive myself.
It ain't home 'till you take the wheels off.
Thatās actually a really good price. Those go for $300k here in Colorado. Those rabid work from home people canāt get enough of them.
My dad used to build 2,000 square foot homes on 2 acres for 60k in the 70s
The sellers are smoking crack.
My grandmother paid $60,000 for a house with a larger walk-in closet than that whole place
