[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If OP would just frame her problem as "I can't afford to buy the houses I like most in the DMV, even with a sizable down payment and what feels like a pretty high HHI, and that is disappointing to me," I think she'd find a lot of support in the thread.

The problem is that OP is framing this like she feels entitled to a nicer house than what many of us with the same or worse finances have recently bought in the area. Like it feels like OP is affronted by the idea that she might have to compromise in any way, shape or form, as we did, because she thought that when she had this much money and this much income, she wouldn't have to compromise anymore.

Everyone compromises. The things they compromise on change, but everyone compromises. I try to be grateful I even have the choices I have.[/quote]

+1 OP wants to hop straight from renting to a SFH that most people in the DMV could never afford. $300K HHI with a $300K down payment just isn't a lot here these days. [/quote]
