I cannot imagine having to go out and buy a house these days....the overinflation of values of homes driven by the commercial buyers has made the American Dream more of a nightmare.
My first house I bought at age 21 was priced at $35k in 1978 and I financed it with an FmHA loan I had to refinance after 2 years. It was 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and an unfinished basement....the perfect starter home for a young married couple. Those types of homes rarely exist these days.
My house payment was something like $125.....
It is a shame that what I paid for my starter home back then would only buy a Tiny Home in today's economy..
