My wife and I were making 3k each take home after taxes a month before starting our business in 2008. I am sorry but we were considered working class and most def did afford a 550k house.
not very smart and no way you get that loan today. Unless you left out how much you put down.
“Mr. President, I still live in the same working class neighborhood I grew up in. My neighbors aren’t millionaires. They’re retirees who depend on Social Security and Medicare."
The house was built in 2005 so I'm dying to know how this is the same neighborhood he grew up in unless he was homeless for 34 years.
The part of West Miami that Rubio now lives in is not 'working class.' Some of his neighbors might, indeed, be retirees, but they don't "depend" on Social Security to pay for their lifestyles. Taxes and HOI on the houses in Rubio's current neighborhood probably run close to $1500/mo, which is more than the average SS recipient gets per month.
The fact he put it for sale for 700,000$ doesn't mean it's worth 700,000. He'll probably sell at 500,000$. Maybe even less.
correct...
and the fact that he is selling it for 700k...doesnt mean that he didnt buy it for much less...he could have easily paid 300k for it( i dont know , and dont care)
Shoot. I consider myself middle class and I can't afford a house that costs one-third of that.
Seems like your post is the ignorant one. Dentists and doctors are not considered working class.
Maybe in California or New York, but not in most of the U.S.
I guess you missed my link from HuffPo about the most expensive cities in the US. The most expensive by far is Miami, Florida. Isn't that where Rubio has lived all his life? Maybe you need to find that link and find out that it is very much cheaper to live in DC than in Miami. He is working in DC these days, isn't he?
