TL;DR: Americans now need to make $120K a year to afford a typical middle-class life and qualify to purchase a home. Minimum.

I think he is catching flack for dismissing the article and making statements without a split second worth of research just because he doesn’t like the use of the word “average”. Below are all the “homes” in Orlando for $200k or less. Going up to $250k doesn’t make it much better.
The 2 “houses” in the second image being listed for 200k are fucking insane.
Those two “houses” are almost $50k more than what I paid for a fully remodeled home for my aunt right before the pandemic. They are also in a significantly worse neighborhood.
Yes but why on earth would you want to live in a crap house in Orlando for that price? There are way more affordable locations and Orlando is pure swamp ass.
Way to try and skew the results, took me 5s to find these on page 1 by just clicking to filter off foreclosures.
SMH, all these look just fine to live in, they are a bit old but the inside pics look quite well maintained and cozy.
I am not skewing the results. You have just decided that you are right even though you don’t have enough information to back up your claims. Remember when I typed this?
Of the four houses you listed, I recognize three of the street names and the third is in Ocala. Unless things have drastically changed since 2019, and they might have, you might want to be extra vigilant about your safety. Investment funds have been buying and flipping houses in some of the most crime riddled neighborhoods. So basically, you are spending $250k and betting that they neighborhood will turn around. It might, but it might not.
For context, those houses were well under $100k in 2015. Let us use one of the homes you listed (739 Eldridge St, Orlando, FL 32803) as an example. If you had just scrolled down you would have seen the valuation history.
It is OK to admit to be wrong and accept points of view from people that have more information and context than you. It is a great way to learn and expand your world view.
That’s nearly ten years ago mate, lol
You are being purposefully daft and you’re just embarrassing at this point. Look at 2020, or just wrap yourself in your warm blanket of ignorance. It’s your life.
