The cool zone way to get a house involves knowing exactly where the previous owner passed.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:Yeah, all my poo poo here is plaster + lathe except for the kitchen that was completely redone in 2006 and the bathroom which got the same treatment in 1996. IIRC, that's because the money that built a lot of those neighborhoods was subsidies from the new deal era; as housing subsidies dried up, housing manufacturers stopped wanting to build small homes and with no future investment in low income subsidized neighborhoods the existing small homes weren't likely to appreciate in value and have largely been demolished and replaced or have crumbled to rotting frames capitalism is, at this point, a gaping, festering wound we are hemmoraging blood from and the solution since the Nixon era has been to slap a band-aid on it and hope things get better organically and now at this point we'll be lucky if we can just lose a limb

CSPAM going to CSPAM but no, our houses don't collapse after 30 years. Stick-built houses are fine, like any other structure they do need maintenance and like any other method they can be hosed up. For an example of how well they hold up compare the the results of the 7.1 earthquake in Anchorage, AK(0 deaths) a few years back to similar earthquakes in other parts of the world. For an example of crap check out some grade-A Texas suburb construction with cardboard sheathing at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMOiMR7b4DY. That's actually a tongue-in-cheek critique of the video I wanted to link but evidently that video has been marked private, probably because the builder responsible threatened to sue.

Yeah, the average down payment (not even median!) doesn't come close to 20% for anyone under 50. First-time buyers are almost always going to be right around 3.5%

i am harry posted:going to guess something like $3700 for exactly the same thing that would be $2000 a year ago It's easy to figure out. At current average sale prices and the current fixed rate average, you're looking at somewhere in the neighborhood of $3200, not including PMI or homeowner's insurance. For a median two-income household, you'd basically need one person's entire net salary just to cover mortgage payments lol Paradoxish has issued a correction as of 17:14 on Sep 19, 2022 |

If you spend 1/3rd of your after tax income on housing costs that means you need $133,200 after taxes so probably 180,000 before taxes. Median wage in USA is $41,000 or so.

There's a $100k old fart 3bed/2bath house for sale near me. Fake wood wall panels, acoustical tile ceilings, carpets last made in the 1980s, furnished with the abandoned poo poo of the dead guy that used to live there that no one wants. Also a 28x40 garage. I might go look at it. Also a house on 40 acres that needs some serious work for $130k. Like, it's livable, but I wouldn't be moving any kids in it.

This place here https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/322-Crane-Ave_Pittsburgh_PA_15216_M41486-49313?ex=2946973756 Was sold at tax auction in 2013 and sat empty for nearly a decade before getting the beige flipper treatment. The flippers didn’t bother trying to address this damage in any way.   Sure hope no one buys that without having that addressed lol

My favorite part about suicide cables is that every single time they come anywhere online, there are guaranteed to be a ton of morons in the comments insisting that while yes, they are very dangerous, they know better and their setup is perfectly safe. Every. Single. Time.
