Where I live houses are like $450k minimum for something that doesn't need major work. Even with a n FHA loan, the mortgage would be untenable. I've given up owning a home here.

A small shoebox here is upward of 550k. And at that price, you need to put another 100k if you do things yourself because the house is a shitstain.
