Why the hell would anyone "buy" a home? You always have to pay "rent" on it to the city or county, and it may or may not be easy to sell when you want to.
Rent a place in the sticks and learn when and how to invest in the market.

I disagree.
Mrs.BBB333 and I have worked HARD for what we have — a modest < 1,100 sq. ft. home in the Gallatin Valley of Montana.
It has been expensive 100% of the way but we have, over the almost 30 years since we built (we moved in two day before Thanksgiving 1995), seen our investment increase five fold.
Mrs. BBB333 property manages eight properties (three in our rural subdivision). One couple, just down the street from us happily pay $3,500 per month to rent their dwelling. That’s $42,000 AFTER TAX dollars and they have been renting for five years. I love them, very nice folks but renting is NOT anything ANYONE should do long term IF they have the ability to own.
We purchased a 14 x 70 mobile home in the early 90’s rather than pay rent...while there we purchased a property north of town which we eventually built upon. It’s been a struggle — but a struggle worth fighting for.
Just my million dollar opinion, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours,
Respectfully,
BBB333
