Like what the fuck IS this? In order to know anything meaningful about a house, I need it inspected, but to get it inspected I need to fucking put money down AND PAY FOR THE FUCKING INSPECTION and if it’s fucked and I don’t want to buy it then woops I lose all this fucking money? Jesus fucking christ it’s a turbo charged version of the apartment application fee scam. Fucking christ. Who decided on all this bullshit? Infinite guillotines for all of them

This is one of those things that just really go to show the fucked up extremism of the bourgeoisie, like, you could have capitalist hell and still have like mandatory state run inspections, the details of which are public, for every property being sold. But woops, nope, fuck you peasant

You’d think with how this country jerks itself raw over home owners it wouldn’t be this way, but WOOPS

This post brought to you by my gf and I being incredibly anxious over maybe buying a house that seems okay but has a slab foundation so like i don’t fucking know what condition the plumbing is in

    The idea of buying a house stresses me out so much. I’m mid-forties, and the more I save, the more expensive houses get, and the higher the interest rate goes! Not to mention, I take 3 months to decide on a laptop, but you gotta pick a house quick before some asshole swoops in with a cash offer just to flip it a year later.

        A $400K home sells for closer to $1M over the course of its lifetime. Then cash buyers come in and scoop us what is a $1M home to a regular person for 60% off then rents that home back to them for a 30year equivalent of $1.4M
