Then you probably can't afford real estate right now, and need to either move somewhere with cheap rentals or find something cheap in your area.
I lived in a crappy apartment for 4 years while working my first real job to save up enough money for a down payment on a house.
- DoreenMichele 8y agoI am currently in an extremely cheap rental. That's how I got myself off the street. I bought a house at age 27 with zero down and no money to cover closing costs. I know something about wheeling and dealing in real estate. The fact that I was recently homeless is not evidence that I don't know anything about real estate. I had student loans and a lengthy health crisis. To be as clear as possible, I wasn't describing the issues I have run into in order to indicate that I personally can't pull this off. Just describing what can be involved and trying to indicate that it can be a dead end for a lot of people with a low income. I don't expect it to be a dead end for me, though it has proven to be a speed bump.
