What does the lower end of middle class like?

my initial reaction is this is pretty low and that's not a knock on people who are around here. I just didn't know what middle class looked like in today's America

With how expensive things are today, this amount of income doesn't get you to where it used to

What's your initial reaction?

Just chatted with some pre-approved buyers with us just yesterday

And they were telling me about their first time home buying experience

They understood the down payment to be the only number that they had to bring to closing

And a day before closing they saw that it was down payment plus closing costs, which ended up being $6,000 to $7,000 more than they were anticipating

A few hundred dollars is a mistake. That's not fun but better

But a whole $6,000 to $7,000 was all the money that they had at the time

This is why our team is really big on setting expectations for the total cash to close up front

Those types of mistakes are a make-or-break for someone's buying experience

Is it realistic to live in the Midwest, where it's cheaper to live, but spend one to six months out of the year traveling to other places that are more desirable to spend time in?

This could be the most cost-effective way to live your life moving forward, assuming you have job flexibility
