Are those bullet spatters on the target holder? Someone's aim loving sucks for having their own private range.

if you have a gun range in your house there is nothing stopping you from getting drunk and heading to the range (in your house).

spent 10 years living at diff spots in east LA all within a mile triangle of this spot. had no idea there was a house under that bridge but i saw a news blurb and knew where it was immediately. if you could strike an agreement with the shopping center its 20ft away from and it was fixed up it would be a cool rental for a young person lol. but of course the price and condition, probably 18 hours a day of heavy road noise too

About the size of the MP house I grew up in, but this one has no visible garage. My neighbors had similar sized houses and were largely teachers and plumbers who bought early enough. 3.5m goddamn dollars.

Yeah, it's nowhere near that bad, but my street has a ton of houses of roughly similar size/design and they're all $450-500k. They universally belong to one of three kinds of people: 1) People over 70 who almost certainly bought them 40+ years ago 2) White collar workers from the big corporate offices down the road 3) Landlords And those are the ones that still pretty much look exactly like that, which are definitely in the minority. The majority of relatively reasonable houses like this have either eaten the flipper treatment or seen tons of additions over the years and are just completely out of reach. Houses in that 1000-1500 sq. ft. range around here have literally tripled in price over the last ten years. It's loving insane.

some family moved on to my street about six years ago and then they recently listed their house for sale and sent all of us an email with their farewells as they "sell [their] starter house". internally, I reacted like Dennis Reynolds when he was told his car was a starter car.

We bought a house last month because our rent is relatively cheap and we spent almost ten years saving up. The number of family members who say “oh it’s such a nice starter home, perfect for now and you can sell it in a few years” is astounding. Where the gently caress do they think the money will come from? Why are they such assholes about it? It’s car brain, but worse!

It’s car brain, but worse! as far as I can tell you are expected to save up for a new down payment while paying your mortgage and then swing proceeds from the sale of your home + extra down payment money into a new home, keeping your monthly low by having more to put down? I’m not entirely sure how it is supposed to work though, do you just recast your new mortgage immediately? sell before moving? contingent sales? it’s all very house of cards-ish, market would dry up any time rates increase enough to make saving to keep the same rate untenable. obviously lenders are happy to give you obscene amounts of money for sky high monthlies and many people seem to do that which makes it even more expensive to buy rates basically just went down for 40 years meaning your down payment goes further as monthlies are lower, so like everything else, the rug was pulled https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MORTGAGE30US Sweeper has issued a correction as of 14:41 on Jul 6, 2023 |

Like your income is statistically probably going to stagnate once you're in your 40s, but people still act like they've got this huge runway out in front of them. "Starter homes" make a very, very small amount of sense when housing is so cheap that you can buy in your 20s, save as your income increases (lmao), and then sell to someone else in a similar situation for around the same price or a little more. It's an absolutely ridiculous concept when you're talking about people in their 30s and 40s who have been saving for a decade just to make their first home happen.

I went through the process of buying a house a year and a half ago and even if the "starter home" was a viable concept I can't imagine ever wanting to go through that again. Between looking at homes, getting outbid over and over again, and moving. gently caress all of that poo poo, I'm never moving again.

Yeah, I was actually going to say that a ton of the people who talk about starter homes and the property ladder never really had or benefitted from those things. The whole idea of cleaning 40 years of junk when your grandparents/parents die is enshrined in popular culture because it's such a common thing for people to basically just stay in their homes. My grandparents built their home in the 60s and my grandmother died in that house several years ago.

It's really, really simple. Buy the home six years ago, when the price was $200k cheaper than what you will be selling it for in 2023. Then, sell the home, collect your $200k profit + $xxx in equity (probably six figures, because mom and dad helped with the 20% on the "starter home!"), and put it to the dream home near ~good schools~ and a median selling price of $700k or greater and coast with your HENRY status. Drive the economy forward.

My in-laws are talking to me about selling my house like it’s a foregone conclusion because staying in the same place forever isn’t the American way. At some point a measly 2.5k square feet simply won’t do and I’ll need a mcmansion for all the stuff my family will accrue and all the crap they expect us to inherit and keep. Lol, I ain’t going nowhere except maybe to downsize to a condo when I’m too old and doddering to climb the stairs safely.

i am, hilariously, trapped in NYC because i got a mortgage at the best possible time in the last 30 years, and bought what is, in ANY top 50 sized city in the country, considered an "affordable" home. like, moving to Denver or something and getting a 3 bed 2 bath, ~2000 sq ft home, my mortgage would be more than double what i pay now. and then I'd need two loving cars, real home insurance (not condo insurance like now), etc. insane. i'm gonna die here. never pictured this.
