As if a single mother of 4 could ever get close to affording a house

[-] Zekas@lemmy.world 60 points 1 year ago

Yes, that's what the meme is about.

Maybe she won the lottery or sold the 5th one she never liked anyway? 🤷

Empty rental properties should be taxed at their rental rates, regardless of if there is a tenant in them or not. Wanna rent out slums for 1700 a month, well, you aren't going to pay taxes on that property like the 90k shithole that it is.

To go a little further, if you're listing a house, you should pay taxes on it monthly based on the list price. Seen way too many shithole with a fresh coat of paint hiked 150k above their actual value.

I personally believe taxes should be a mechanism of negating bad behavior or preventing harm to communities/the people.

Maybe she should close her legs

  • Every Republican male.

And when people opt for abortion or refuse to procreate, those republicans will go ape.

Maybe she should open her legs

  • The other Republican half

its not my fault she got pregnant after we had sex—but if she refuses to birth my child, she should go to prison.

Maybe republican male should stop browsing CP or Qanon or whatever they do these days.

[-] DScratch@sh.itjust.works 89 points 1 year ago

But now she can rent it and pay their mortgage!

As if that hypothetical person ever had a chance post 2008.

[-] internalblock@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

This is just restating the joke.

Wife and I both bought houses in 2009. Feds were literally giving out tax credits to encourage people to buy. Homes were dirt cheap then.

Going off your comment it sounds like you are too young to remember this.

Back when we were house hunting, we experienced several sales where the house was sold for cash at 10-30k over the asking price before offers were even open. If we do sell, I'm sure as hell only selling to a family (not that I'd advertise as much, I'm sure they would and have made fake families to purchase houses.)

[-] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

My sister just inherited a house and sold it for $20k below market to a young family for exactly the reasons you state. I respect her for that.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If a house sells before bidding opens, it’s not necessarily the corporations, but yes it’s an unfair advantage to someone. Back when we were looking and the market was even hotter, we actually did get in on that side of the process a couple times.

However that early access was never exclusive and never successful for us. I actually wondered whether it was just a scammy tool for realtors to get feedback on the asking price

And “cash” does not necessarily mean cash. I believe it just means no contingencies on whether or not the buyer can get a mortgage and when. The buyer is already approved for the necessary amount and desperate enough to gamble that nothing will go wrong

Well done, my minions. The mortals' courage begins to wane! Now, let's see how they contend with the true Lord of Blackrock Spire!

This is very strange seeing Zach Wilson in this context
