I would say most are frustrated buyers, that could buy if they want to but won’t because it’s just silly to at these numbers.
We would like to own, but our brains tell us no, while our hearts still say yes. So we are a little frustrated. There is no general label that applies to people in these forums.
The income level of most on these boards is above the average
I too want to buy when the rent vs. buy makes sense. I might move from a house to a condo, but at least I can make some changes to it that suit me. I.E.- A nice screen door I can use during the summer months, motion sensing lights because it is very dark by my place. Better heater because the house is freaking cold during the winter. (probably would be better windows actually)
Exactly, a starter home here is jacked up, a starter home anywhere else is usually a nice place that is smaller. I have a buddy that bought a nice 3bd 2ba 1ga for 160k in the heart of milwaukee, a nice place.
For that price, I couldn’t even get a 1bd condo that was deserted and infested with rats
we’ve often thought of that but never did it, we have a tiny patio that couldn’t fit a potted plant but we have a really ugly front area. We have tossed around the idea of putting in some potted plants, but thought it would look tacky, perhaps we aren’t the decorators we thought we were.
We really want a fruit tree, being from WI, it would be great to have some kind of citrus tree.. I have to get one now!
Did you keep the plants in their pots, or did you plant them? My wife has a green thumb and I would love to hear what you have done because we could maybe do the same.

Perry, you have a great outlook on life, I really enjoy your posts, and love your outlook on things.
