@@flychomperfly No. The system did not "work" for me. I made better decisions and was patient and not obsessed with immediate gratification.

She is 44 years old now. I went into the USAF for 4+ years as a young man (during Jimmy Carter's reign) and used GI bill and multiple par-time jobs to get through college with a moderate student loan debt. Wife number one divorced me during my 4th year of college (5 year curriculum). I was 44 years old before I was able to get my school loans paid and a year later child support was completed. During the S&L debacle years I was unemployed for nearly 2 years and survived by loading trucks for a moving company for $4.80 / hr. I bought my first home Dec. 1999. I was 45 and was able to (again) use my GI Bill benefits. The system didn't "work" for me. The DISCIPLINE the Air Force taught me is what "worked" for me. I hope this explanation helps.

This is not true, the big companies are buying 2 things, Apartments in big cities and private single family homes in large new developments in places like Georgia, Texas, Arizona but not in Oregon or Washington or Ohio or Pennsylvania so it depends where you live and the type of home you want to live in. Most of the homes in the rest of the country are bought up by fellow Americans who have cash, invested made money, and are buying up homes to flip or rent out, it is not big companies just fellow Americans some might aspire to own a portfolio of rentals some act like slum lords but its not big companies in those cases, just your fellow Americans doing that buying and converting in to rentals.

There are, in fact, PLENTY of houses in supply but they were bought up by corporations who are sitting on them to make the market pricing go up! Then command high prices as they slowly put them back on the market! All in the name of PROFIT!

Many years ago, we bought a house in a depressed market. It was only 11 months old when the owner lost his job and had to move. They paid $350,000 for it. For the next year they tried to sell. Meanwhile, they had taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance to pay as they left the area. So even simple stuff like lawn care, they had to pay for. We bought it about six months later. Paid $225,000 for it. Sellers had to come up with over $50,000 cash just to pay off the mortgage when we bought. They lost their 20% down payment, all the payments they made over 2 1/2 years, and another $50,000 to get out. Its not like we stole the house either, as it was only worth $225,000.

In Florida, there is an abundance of brand new homes being built by builders. So the market for real estate agents to sell an older home is a lot harder than it used to be. After all, who wants to buy an older home when you can buy a brand new home? Only the overpriced homes in Miami day or Coral Gables Florida are sitting on the market longer because they cost in the millions.

Trucking is a big influence that shows how the market is going down.

Our house has went up $60K in the 8 years we have owned it and people keep telling us to sell and take the profit. My rebuttal is there’s no way because the low inventory of houses and going from 2.8% interest to 7% is a hard pass for me.
