@nickshirleyy The US government is swimming, maybe even drowning, in tax payer dollars. Then you have the state, County, city taxes and fees. Americans are being fleeced, just down right raped in taxes
@MatrixMysteries You buy an older home in town and build equity. In 5-10 years sell it and transfer equity to your next home. Sorry but most first time home buyers are not buying newer homes. My first house was a 1 bedroom nearly 100 yrs old. Second 10 yrs old. Third was brand new
