Assuming 10% down, you're probably looking at $30-$35k all in housing cost including utilities/taxes/insurance at $500k properties per year, which would be very difficult to swing for most families, but would be possible.
Right...And I guess it’s possible to juggle flaming chain saws while roller skating too.
Assuming 10% down? Why would you assume that?
What’s 10% and a half a million dollar home? $50,000?
Where in tarnation are a couple making 60k a year between them, going to get $50,000 cash? For the most part, I can assure you, that’s not happening for the huge majority!
