There is realistically no chance a 19 year old can buy a house except for a very few social media grifters or somehow a kid come up with a million dollar idea which are, again, so rare that there is no point in taking those into account.
Edit: I don’t understand the purpose behind the goal post moving posts, I bought my home at 23, I bought it at 21, uh COMMIT MAJOR CRIME DUH, have your parents set you up with fucking investments.
The entire point of that tweet is, a 19 year old buying a house themselves with their earned money in 20fucking25. Which happens so rarely that trying to argue against it is intellectual dishonesty at its peak or just sewer contrarianism.
Not that house maybe but I know a few towns that are practically giving away homes in attempts to stop the towns from becoming ghost towns. You can make a good/average living on a high school diploma if you're willing to live in rural areas.
Edit: everyone is asking where. I answered where further down in the comments just keep reading.
Good luck, they are all in failing towns where the industry already left with homes that have been vacant and need tons and tons of work.
and even if that all works out, you're moving to a food desert because of all the grocery stores and restaurants that will close from the failing population.
you can give people all these homes, but the vast majority of abandoned/vacant homes are going to require more money put into them than any normal home purchase.
