I want to move out of my too expensive to repair "starter home" that I got when I was pretty fresh out of college thinking - get the house now, pay off the mortgage and then I won't have to deal with that when I'm older. 15 years of debt slavery later I'm finally "debt free" and when I go to look for homes under $250k and just see 1 tiny run down house smaller and 3xs older than mine in a 40 mile radius
