Congrats on taking on 30 years of debt!

J/k

You bring up fair points, but this wasn’t the post to do it on. If someone was posting about thinking about buying a house but expressed they’re on the fence, that would be the time to be like “you should consider what signing up for 30 yrs of debt looks like for you and if that impacts things.”

This person isn’t bragging, they’re excited. It’s not like they’re posting they bought their second home or something. Everyone knows homeownership is becoming harder and harder to achieve and this person could have finally achieved a goal that took longer than it should have to achieve (bc of barrier to enter). Your comment on this type of post is just backhanded and takes away the spark.

Also even under the best of interpretations for how this could be received (a good intent warning), it’s not even helpful because they’ve already bought the house. Nothing changes. So the comment is just being an ass disguised as humor

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?
