That seems about right, I'm an elder millennial and the only reason I own a home is because I was able to take out a VA loan back in 2009. If I had to put 20% down, even back then, it would have never happened. These days you're talking down payments of $100,000 which is ludicrous.
Elder millennial, conditionally 100% with the VA. Bought in 2016 and with an increase recently to pay it off at 50 my payment is ~$630. I'm not going anywhere.
I bought a run down, 900 sqft "starter home" in 2018, with the original plan of doing repairs and selling to upgrade in several years.
Now? -- fuck that. I've fixed it up and I'm going to live here until I die.
Hell yeah dude. I need to get to patching mine up but my ex was shitty about getting things done and now I've got a whole damn complex about doing anything myself. Lmfao
