[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish there was a website, a DCUM alternative, for people who are not rich.  For people who buy under $650,000.  Is there anyone else reading this forum who wants/needs to buy under-600,000?  I wonder if a separate forum would be in order.  [/quote]

Honey, many of these folks are pretentious posers.  The other half had mommy and daddy pay for their homes.  Or they're like me they inherited their house through grandma.  My house has been in my family for years.   Don't let these folks on this forum fool you.   I knew a lady who lived in a big house, but couldn't afford furniture.   The so call rich that you assume are people who are drowning in debt and probably eating ramen noodles every night, but they get a high on projecting their insecurities about wealth onto tho others.  You"ll be surprise how DC is full of "rich people" who need government assistance and social services. [/quote]

I mean this sincerely, and not in a jerk way either: there are PLENTY of couples buying homes in the District and close in Arlington, mclean and Bethesda who do it with their own income and not their parents' gifts. Or grsndma's handed down rowhouse.  They are all around me, moving into my zip code in droves.  And although no, I do not poll each one on wherher or not they received cash from mom, it's pretty obvious to see how you could make a $1.5 million home purchase when both adults are partners at Arnold and Porter. Or often, they just sold their $900k house in shaw and plowed the profit into the $1.8M house in Arlington.

I am not in this situation personally, which is why I'm on this thread. But I live among them. Sort of -- they're all away from home from 7:30 am to 9 pm. [/quote]

Hi, neighbor! See you at WF on Wed AM. [/quote]
