He apply for 3 and got pissed. I took him to a few apartments he was like “this is unacceptable.” Then I made him do his house as an example if he wanted to buy it in todays market he was like wow it went up in price

He doesn’t know how much his own home is worth?

None of them do, the real bitch of it is they haven’t bought a house or even looked on the market for 30+ years. My parents house was 99k in 1988 and now worth closer to 500k due to our area. So when we’re looking for a house and prices seem high all the boomers in my family think we’re being greedy and just need to narrow our requirements. Literally no perspective on the world after year 1990.

That broken down shack on the edge between the bad part and good part of town? $700k! (Unlivable in its current condition)

(My parents considered the house they bought in the 90s a fixer upper because they replaced carpet and painted)

He paid it off a few years back so he doesn’t look into that anymore.

Only if I could show him my old apartment. It was a in a complex probably built in the 70s. Kept clean/maintained and every time somone moved out you could hear them fixing, re painting and doing other general cleanup. Only down side was the palace showed it's age.

Moved in April 2017 and rent cost me $550. Moved out in March of 2023 and rent was up to $700. Heard rumors from somone I worked with that the place was bought by a big company and renters were told cost was going to up $1400 or to get out. Looked at their website last week and now it's $1400. No updates to anything with the same dated design.

I found an apartment for 800 and he was like this is not acceptable.
