[quote=Anonymous]Both of you are right PPs above, it's a combination of luck, timing and hard work. I didn't have rich parents either but I grew up pretty solidly middle class down south. When I moved here I bought in a not popular neighborhood in D.C. because I had always lived among black people, since I am black so while it may have been "SCARYBLACKPEOPLE!!!!!!" for someone else, it was just my old people neighbors who helped me learn how to be a homeowner. Was this house or neighborhood my first choice? No, of course not, I was young and wanted to be closer to bars and nightlife, but my budget didn't allow for that so I bought where I could afford to get in the market and worked on making something out of it. Now I have loads of equity -- and three times the incomes -- that I can use to buy my way up into where I DO want to live. Some of this whining and boohooing is because people can't buy in the EXACT place they want to buy RIGHT NOW that is EXACTLY as perfect as they want it to be and that is shortsighted. [/quote]
