Well and the OP implies he paid for the house in cash, vs just the down-payment, which could be as low as $37.5k for a $750k house. That’s a lot of money but across 2 years that’s $1600/mo, basically exactly what you’d expect to save on rent.

Zibitee@lemmy.world 7 months agoI actually have an engineering friend who did this and he did it in 2 years. Dude had no life, but he put a full down payment on a 750k house in two years. So I guess technical jobs just pay well enough

Thats a down payment, anon bought that shit straight cash. You figure the average down payment is 20% so… 150K+, thats no chump change either. Does he stay out late at night, maybe looks frazzled all the time?

There are decent rural homes you can get for 200-300k within range of civilization in more places than you think
There’s also still 100k-200k properties in cities if you don’t mind anything left on your porch being stolen

An FHA loan is only 3 percent, about $25,000
