    who’s got 5 digits in the bank for a down payment? let alone a bank that will approve a loan for the only “affordable” house which is affordable because it’s falling apart?

        Uh, even in more expensive areas $100k down payment seems a little insane

          $100k is 20% of a $500k house. 20% is the traditionally “normal” amount, and $500k is a pretty average price in big cities these days…

            I don’t think most people are putting 20% down anymore tbh. Especially not in those places

            Right, the comment I’m replying to is saying that 5 digits wouldn’t be enough

              No it isn’t. It says “who has that?”, and “what bank would approve the loan for the falling apart shack that would buy”

        My dad bought a house for 5k the other day. He so excited goimg around looking for more. The house should of been torned down and the town has zero jobs. But it bound and determined to gst us all to move there. “So cheap” there reason for that.
