The monthly payment of 28%-38% of gross monthly pay is harder to get to with the rising interest rate and rising home prices. You’d be looking at over 50% of your net take home pay per month (yes, over half your months paycheck, especially in high cost of living areas). They are fucking pricing everyone out other than investors or existing home owners that can tap into home equity.

And rent is nearing 1900 nationwide. How is that even reality?

If people just started killing landlords and investors I personally wouldn’t give a fuck (I’m kidding, not advocating this, but that’s how bad actors these animals are).
