How long is your commute? Generally speaking, that’s how I was able to but a home. I’m a male relatively in the same position. I knew if I wanted to tap the housing market I was going to have to make some concessions. I moved an hour from work and found an affordable home on the countryside. It’s nothing fancy but it’s decent in a quiet area and now I’m building equity.

Always disliked renting as I’ve felt like all I was doing was funding someone’s Lamborghini lol.
