I really don't think there is a way to shoe-horn this for everyone.
If there was an easy way for everyone to be able to afford a house, it probably would have happened by now??
There are only so many 100k per year jobs available, and there's only so much expense cutting you can do.
At some point, the asset is just priced too high, often for artificial reasons.

- tertius 9y ago1. You don't need a $100k per year job to buy a house. 2. Easy way = not spending but rather saving. It's simple, but not fun in the short term. 3. House too expensive? Save more or buy cheaper. 4. 2007 loan crisis. I.e. don't buy a house that's too expensive.
- dionidium 9y agoYou're looking at the cost of Bentleys and wondering how most people afford a car. They afford it by buying used Honda Civics. Which is to say that there are job opportunities in Dallas and Indianapolis and Atlanta and so on and so on, which are all cities with the housing equivalent of Honda Civics. If you insist on a Bentley (i.e. the largest coastal cities), then I guess I just don't know what to tell you except that you should reconsider a visit to the Honda lot.
