10 thoughts on “Increasingly, perfect starter homes are only available for rent

    1. Your use of the future tense is a bit optimistic! We’re already in the late-stage capitalism downfall of America.

    2. Might I ask what led to America becoming the most economically powerful county in the world in the first place?

      Hint: it’s a system you seem to resent

  1. “Many were in their 20s and 30s, and were recently engaged or married. Some had young children. Nearly all had dogs.” – I feel for the people interviewed but children cost money and dogs are a LUXURY. They’re also in Austin. No explanation needed. What sacrifices are these people willing to make to become homeowners?… My first house was god awful and styled from the 70’s. It came complete with a leaking roof, nasty carpet, mold, and not in the best location yet it qualified for a conventional loan.

    1. so – on order to live in a top 10 American city you should sacrifice having a family, pets, and a meaningful life…. The American Dream is dead…

    2. Yes. Make big unpopular sacrifices or do nothing and rent. It’s all about the mindset, saving, and knocking out small goals.

  2. Continued: There’s nothing wrong with renting. Unless you know the market, prices, and have stable income buying a house makes no sense. Some of the people interviewed “were recently married”, aka a terrible time to buy a house. The standard path to home ownership is overrated.

  3. $4,000.00 a month? Heck, I wouldn’t be able to afford that, and I’m an empty nester! They’re looking in the wrong areas for affordable homes.
