Looks mold prone, I'd suggest if you need to live in the middle of a town consider the midwest, some older towns you can find historic homes in rough condition but stucture is sound, you're gonna spend money regardless on what house you buy if it's 20 years old or worse.

I grew up in a town over, you will need a lot. A house like that is prob 2 mil or more.

>>62246973
is 2 million a lot there? Serious question. In a lot of HCOL areas in the US 2 million would be a very cheap house.

>>62246889
depends how old you are and how you plan on living. If it's an expensive town, housing is going to be your main obstacle and then how much you need depends on your strategy to secure it.

>>62246973
Sad in 08 it was probably 120k max.
Aim for places like Arkansas or Missouri who haven't been cucked to death by fake inflation.

>>62247007
In 2008 the only houses selling for a million were megamansions, there was a massive house near me that cost the owner 1.7m to make and sold for 80k.
course all the shits 500k now in my old town

>>62247015
ok makes sense. So it's not a super HCOL area, just 2-4 times more expensive than neighboring areas

It's not southern california or aspen or something. But it is more expensive than other places

>>62246889
You don't want to be a masshole buddy, trust me

>>62246973
It is a good place to retire?

>>62247007
2 mil is nothing to the people that live around there and in terms of home prices.

Probably like $30 million if you're under 30 years old

>>62247033
thanks. It looks like an average house there runs in the $2 MM range. Not a lot of houses below that.

that's what I was wondering. $2 million is apparently cheap there.

>>62247046
>>62247033
How is it better than a town in the midwest?
Look up St.Joseph Missouri it was a millionaires town during the robberbaron era.
Victorian out the ass houses they are shooting up in value now when I was working for amazon in 2022 they were worthless cool ass houses.
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1920-Clay-St-Saint-Joseph-MO-64501/110494326_zpid/
For example 250k historic.
Mass is filled with addicts so it st joseph, you wanna pay 2m or 250k?

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/212-S-17th-St-Saint-Joseph-MO-64501/338641598_zpid/
99k inside is actually really nice.
Outside needs about 2k in work.

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/809-819-Hall-St-Saint-Joseph-MO-64501/457159894_zpid/
Here's a 2m house in St Joseph.
But they removed the selling price in 2022 it was probably 200k max. the town has a meth problem and it was getting out of hand and everyone left.

>>62247087
the disparity is weird. I live in a place where $2 MM will buy you a tiny shack. I happen to have a tiny shack there. I could sell it and go buy that enormous pile straight across. It's a weird situation.

>>62247075
>inside is actually really nice.
No it isn't. Look at the gouges in the wood floor, the walls, look at the wood beams on the ceiling. Inside is going to need tens of thousands in work too.

>>62247075
if you or your neighbor have a chain-link fence, sorry but you're in a poor neighborhood.

>>62247108
That's insane it's 5 houses was looking at it, you get every house there, the red and tan houses and guest house as well and the red house is a bed and breakfast.
least for 2m you get your moneys worth.

>>62247117
I've seen much much worse.

>>62247007
> In a lot of HCOL areas in the US 2 million would be a very cheap house.
This. I was telling some retard yesterday that 1m house is ghetto in big cities.
And retard was saying people on welfare can get 1m homes

>>62247164
the coasts esp north east are overpriced garbage they pretend in white utopia but in reality its just fent niggers every square inch and they are all soiboys up there, my sister has a simp in new hampshire who has believed her when she said they will live together one day, but she refuses to sell here house here in Missouri and live with him, instead she sucks his money up and never touches him.
Poor guy.

>>62247175
Oh and she's been "Dating" this man since 2013
He's bought her 3 new cars, she keeps running them into the ground somehow.

>>62247164
that was me you fucking tard.

you can't read so you thought you were arguing with me.

you need to stick to whatever part of Delhi your parents live in.

>>62247164
>retard was saying people on welfare can get 1m homes
and you said nothing that disputes that fact

FHA, VA, and even Section 8 will help you buy a house over a million dollars

this is a fact, and you are too stupid to understand it.

>>62247032
No.
If you want to retire near Boston and you have deep pockets, go to Brookline. Quiet, better city access, still very green. Weston is in the boonies.
>source: I live in Boston

>>62247218
lol yeah this board is probably me you, and a hand full of indians, in 2020-21 least there was a consistent decent euro and american population here speaking.
everyone left, few trickled back to /pol/ and a bunch of scamming indians did as well.

>>62247238
>boonies
What is the problem on that? More acreage and quieter streets.

>>62247260
You aren't getting acreage anywhere near 95. If that's what you want, you need to look further out, into the towns between 95 and 495. Determine what you want access to. You can be near beaches, closer to mountains, or in the woods.

>>62247254
yep, I was rangebanned most of last month and traffic dropped by almost 1/3. It was interesting to watch.

I'll probably take off again in a bit I just wanted to see what happens if I come back for a week or two. Traffic bumped up several hundred posts per day when I returned, but it's still not up to where it was before my most recent ban.

>>62247272
I would, just saw Lebanon/Breakroom is still here the serial scam artist, he admits to using 4chan pass and VPNs and proxies to spam and scam here.
I noticed the monero thread and saw him there.
If the only faggot talking here is a infamous serial scammer and spammer then you know 4chans toast, sucks I met some cool americans and euros here.
I hope that dumb faggot gets kidnapped.

>>62247284
he's been here a very long time, I guess he has corporate backing or something. I'm constantly surprised people fall for his shit but eventually there won't be any westerners for him to scam

>>62247293
He's been making fake gofundmes on /pol/ and upset that stupid Chudthebuilder got 200k, he spent 3 days kvetching that a white man got 200k.
Not that I give a shit I think all this e-streamer shit is pure cancer but you can tell if anyone literally anyone besides him makes money he throws fits, he also spams many many threads on both boards, he's some schizophrenic nigger who helped ruin this place.
He made over 6 figures scamming people here.

>>62247293
I shit you not he spends most of his days pretending to be christian to scam, then pretending to hate christcucks as he calls them so people feel more inclined to donate to him.
Guy might take the cake in terms of the most evil person I've had the displeasure of being around.

>>62247299
>>62247303
makes me wonder what other /biz/ characters he might be. Someone in /pmg/ once told me one of our oldest regulars in the thread was famous across the board for something I wouldn't believe.

>>62247310
Heh probably not I can tell you a poster here sued FTX, possibly talking about him.

>>62247310
It's possible though since those generals are highly botted infact /biz/ messed up the other day and it had 13 /SMG/ generals up at the same time and all had almost identical 1 line responses in the same spots.
It's sort of easy for bad actors to pick people out of those botted generals when they themselves setup the bots.

>>62247313
yeah that could be it. I can't imagine lebanon being too interested in metals unless he can scam or beg in the thread.

>>62247323
I'd presume it was him since he was rich for awhile, though hard times hit us all.

>>62247320
>/biz/ messed up the other day and it had 13 /SMG/ generals up at the same time and all had almost identical 1 line responses in the same spots.
kek
that's awesome!

we've been getting multiple redundant generals for a while now but not that many. I can't believe crypto is dying, but if /biz/ is any indication the best days of crypto are behind us.

>>62247338
Everything is gonna collapse the way we're going, btw crypto tends to crash on oil spikes.
in 2022 when gas spiked BTC had it's second big crash day comparing to the 2021 crash.
Oil is a good indicator on the real market the more it ratchets up everything will crash because we depend so heavily on oil.
And Trump is seriously retarded and I voted for him 3x.

>>62247224
>Will help you buy a house over a million dollars
>Monthly Mortgage payments of >$10,000
Good luck.

>>62247346
I didn't vote for him because I'm a boomer and I hated the guy in the 80's. But most boomers hated him back then and most of them love him now.

either way it's not like they gave us a great choice. Trump was the better option economically, but needs a babysitter to keep him from starting wars for israel apparently

>>62247375
He's clearly blackmailed, and has some weird delusion about leaving behind a legacy when he can't seem to do anything right, now it's the ballroom and love how he kicked off a middle eastern quagmire because nobody would give him a stupid peace prize.
It's clownworld for sure, I'm not quite a boomer but rapidly approaching 40.
I can't say my track record in voting is very good, I voted for Mccain my first vote.

>>62247369
I'm guessing it's a bunch of room mates going in together. Otherwise they'd go over the income limits for assistance. Either that or parents with high earnings that qualified either by disability or having 25 kids or something.

it happens though. In my town it's difficult to find a house less than one million, and we certainly have people on welfare that own houses.

>>62247369
also what anon and I were arguing about was ANY government assistance, not just welfare. Stuff like VA and FHA aren't means-tested but are still government assistance. This is something he can't understand. I make $15k per month and qualified for FHA assistance. Just because $15k per month is not enough to buy a house in my town. I get turned down for regular mortgages because my house payment is more than 1/3 of my income after taxes. FHA and VA can work around that though.

>>62247381
I liked McCain and Romney but I'm pretty old-school and a veteran. Trump's track record with veterans isn't great.

>>62247386
They also gave minorities loans if you recall few years back, which basically ushered in a bunch of niggers into the suburbs, and they don't ever pay rent like we do, if at all, you every so often see one get evicted here and typically ends in a shootout.
but you're right they each have 5-10 kids and each is on EBT so they get 12k ebt checks and mortgage assistance which like you said is likely calculated on the housing price not the person.

>>62247409
Just all the homo shit and ukraine shit and syria shit after that ruined Mccain for me and his butt body Graham ladybugs cracker.

>>62247412
exactly
in my area it's mostly mexicans, but same deal

those poor disadvantaged immigrants have a right to live right there with the rich people and we're going to help them. It's kinda funny to watch. You can see the barely-rich people thinking "well there goes the neighborhood!"

>>62247423
I got a 12.5 acre house I just inherited but there's a caretaker who's trying to take it so my realtor is dragging his feet, but she has no legal authority to do so she already stole everything of my aunts and her life insurance but I was able to secure the house with a TOD she can't steal.
But I also own a duplex in the city that's nearly paid off, I might end up moving to the house in Arkansas and renting this place out or selling it, though I hate to sell if things are about to hyperinflate.

>>62247428
Nice holdings! Yeah I'm holding onto real estate too, just because I don't expect the dollar to last. The decline is speeding up.

>>62247450
Im trying to sell the arkansas house since well it needs work but its on a scenic highway everyone is building shit shacks with 0.5 acres and asking 200k i just want 150k quick to walk away but nobody biting so I likely will just keep it fix it and ask 300k like everyone else.

Ideally I sell it and if a crash does happen I can buy a nicer house closer to my duplex, that's the plan anyway.

>>62247456
It's actually got a trailer with a foundation on it as well and metal tractor shed though it needs work the metals all old and lotta windows busted out in that, the trailers trashed my aunt ignored it but its got water and electrical hookups so you could knock the old trailer down plop in a new one and ask 500k for the property easily.
Which I might do.

>>62247117
It looks structurally sound though, who pays 10k for sanding and lacquering?

>>62247141
Retarded point desu

>>62247727
No i mean I worked in that town and there's much much worse and people want more.
That's decent for 99k could probably complain about the towns problems and lower it too.

>>62246889
Looks nice

>>62247010
>Sad in 08 it was probably 120k max.
LOLNO

Weston has been an "exclusive" extremely expensive area for at least the last forty years. Weston was easily half a million and up for even a shitty house in 1986, probably more like $750K.

Even in the 1980s they were having problems hiring wagies to work in their grocery stores and gas stations because there was ZERO "affordable housing" in Weston for the poors and their kids to live in -- you know, the people who would actually take a job at Subway instead of just telling mommy and daddy to increase their allowance because the price of premium gas for their high school daily-driver Porsche had gone up. The Weston city council even deliberated for a few months over rezoning some areas to allow mere apartments to be built but decided against it because they had to maintain their exclusivity.

>>62247032
Depends on whether you like the idea of living in Assholechusetts. I fucking hate that state. After I graduated college I swore never to go anywhere near it again. I've mellowed out, back then I would have cheered and danced if the USSR had nuked the shit out of Boston. As long as it happened on a weekend when the two friends I had who had stayed there were out in their suburban home, nothing of value would have been lost to the world.

>>62246889
Idk what it is about Boston real estate but it just never seems to come down no matter how inflated it actually gets. You’d think that wacky gook bitch mayor combined with kids opting out of the student loan goy trap would somehow work its way down into the property values but it just keeps going up forever

>>62246889
$20m

>>62247928
I have rentals in Boston. The wacky mayor has been great for rents by getting rid of the realtor fee. I pocketed the realtors fee and was able to raise rents 15% this year. Most I ever have in a single year before. Property values are never coming down again if you missed out on the financial crash

>>62247901
They are not woke enough for you?
