Right stealing dirt bikes and riding in the streets all day is a great way to improve their livelihood.

Thanks for the essay of sympathy BS.

no, of course not wtf

It looks like a whole lot of defunct in the middle. A league going from 12 teams to 36 to 24 in a decade just doesn’t scream sustainability to me. I really am wishing for the best but that makes it hard to inspire confidence. Even accounting for COVID killing a lot of that growth, there’s just ponzi scheme vibes

Well, Rhode Island is small, and they aren’t making any more of it. So, why not.

They're in a uniform, how could anyone in a uniform lie?

Yes completely agree with this too!

Another factor to consider is the “responsible”part I have friends who could easily afford a nice home but choose to rent as they don’t want to the headaches that come with homeownership theu like being able to call down maintenance and have them fix. (You don’t want to know what they pay for rent to have that nice maintenance option)

.... but not W. Virginia "vibes" lol

Yuck

Actually rural places (if you can find work) you can find decent houses for like 50k

Wherever you go..there you are!

Agree while I think it might drop a little I don’t think there will be a burst like in past

As I said to the other person it can be done but it’s not easy it’s tough as hell but can be done

It can be done… difficult as hell but even section 8 recipients can purchase with help from voucher. Check out the poverty finance sub everyone is great there !

I moved to CT, just across the border, always loved RI but I do love what I can afford for my price point

Smart thought also though got to remember when you own something goes wrong you got to fix it so never buy a house without an inspection no matter how much they push! Its worth every penny! I encourage those wanting to buy to passive look my first home (long time ago$ I bought a perfect fixer upper it took almost 2 years of looking but I was not in rush had a decent rental etc. go see a mortgage broker learn about programs FHA 203 is awesome. This way when you find that perfect first home you prepared to jump

I just reluctantly moved to Texas to be able to afford a house next year or so and also salary is on par. TBH, now I miss RI like hell. It's was tough weighing out my options but both states

No, even with cash deals are limited.

Honest tough call I own so I would not sell/buy right now but rents being so high and hard to find housing for rent if I was a renter i definitely would be looking especially if I had kids even overpriced as I would the stabile but I would passive look vs active look

3.25 to be exact. I would rent my house before i sold it and rent something else. interest rate is too good.

I honestly don’t understand how an average Joe can afford a home in RI right now. I’d understand if you bought last year, but the mortgages on are insane for these prices.

I've heard it's because most homeowners who got nice 3.5% interest rates during the pandemic are obviously loath to sell their houses to get a 6.5% or 7% interest rate.
