        Damn I just thought about it and the only home owner friend I have that isn’t a drug dealer, is a cop.

        I think you’re on to something.

        I had a legitimate talk about doing this with my girlfriend. As much as I hate how sketchy it is, it still just seems sooo tempting.

          But is it worse than tricking other people to work 40+ hours a week doing whatever you say and giving you most of the value they create? Because that’s the other option.

          Plus if you buy a bunch of houses you can get them to give back most of the money you pay them.

        Not too far from reality where I live. One dude already is doing time because he was blatantly dropping cash payments on things like a HOUSE and multiple cars.

        The feds had a FIELD DAY with him.

      I’m 35, and if you squint a bit at the mortgage, I “own” home. With my partner. And we’ll be paying it off for another 27 years. And we’re the lucky ones of this generation.

      Buying a home with saving, fucking lol

      ask them why didn’t they have savings to “buy a private yacht yet” at your age, because I would guess it’s roughly similar in the proportion of pay/cost
