Comment on We shouldn't have to go to college in order to afford a house by 30.
FatVegan@leminal.space 4 days agoI think people with degrees are less likely to own a house by the age of 30, because they studied longer and have to pay off debt first. The only reason i own a house is because i found one for super cheap and renovated it myself.

That’s probably the best strategy. Or buying a duplex and renting half of it. Either way now-a-days in America you gotta be willing to put ALOT of sweat equity in the get a shelter

That’s just buying two houses to rent one though

Right, but you’d try to find a distressed duplex for the same price as a single family. If you’re gonna risk buying a shitter and fixing it, might as well get an additional income.

Is that a thing? I’m in Canada and I’ve never seen a duplex sell as a single house. If you could find it that would be a pretty sweet deal
