And notice how he claims he paid it off in 18 months, but then he switches to the average wage earner for the inflated price.
How long would it have taken for the average wage earner to pay off the house originally?
The house I grew up in was in Southern California, and costed $10,000.
My folks bought it on a 30 year loan. My father was a mechanical engineer that worked in aerospace.
That house sold (when my mom died) for $650K about ten years ago.
A mechanical engineer working in aerospace can still afford to buy that home on a 30 year loan.
