It is not that hard to own 3 homes if you live long enough and are frugal with your money. I think Sanders is that on both counts. Since 2006 his congressional salary has averaged $170,000. Recently, his family income has been $205,000 including his wife’s income. Do you even know if Bernie’s vacation home is owned free and clear or if he has a mortgage? Does he have any rental income on his properties? So many possibilities, not hard at all.

You can’t be serious. Taxes on $200,000 are half. Property tax on 3 homes is staggering back east. It is not just owning homes. It is upkeep and maintenance. And then if there are mortgages he is so far underwater. If you have ever owned a lot of real estate something always goes wrong.
If you don’t learn to fix yourself the cost of plumbers, electricians, contractors buries you. I don’t think Bernie knows what a screw driver is.
