This wasn't some kind of mansion. It was a 1300 square foot house. I guess I'm aiming too high then while making 4x his salary? And people have been whining about this same problem for decades so nothing to be done about it?

Depends if you think you’re going to ride a rising tide of appreciation when you buy a house, or if you have to accept its already long passed.

Aunts and uncles picked up homes in SoCal for 150-200k in the 90s, now worth 1-2m in some cases, but in any case, it seems unreplicable today.

If there’s a new frontier to capitalize on, a lot of us seem to be missing it…
