[quote=Anonymous]Without fail, every thread will respond to "there are few suitable properties available in my price range" with links to listings for properties that are some combination of:

a) run-down and advertised as "investor specials" that need $$$$$ worth of structural repairs, mold remediation, and other fundamental issues before even approaching the cosmetic concerns;

b) deep in soul-crushing suburban sprawl, surrounded by traffic sewers and a 15-minute drive to the nearest strip mall with a grocery store;

c) an okay property in an okay neighborhood that would immediately brand you as an unwanted gentrifier if you're not the same color as your neighbors;

d) literally meets none of the preferences the original poster specified. But they're just being sooooo picky and why wouldn't they want to spend half a million dollars on a property they hate just to say they own something, like any other red-blooded American?

I will never understand this cultural obsession with owning a property at all costs, no matter how ridiculous it is for your particular life circumstances, when continuing to rent would be the much, much better option for financial health / lifestyle / location / convenience.[/quote]
