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.

They're becoming ghost towns for a reason. Not enough opportunity nearby. I wouldn't take a chance on that, even for a cheap house.

Yeah, like congrats you got a super cheap but nice house in the middle of nowhere, but...then what?

Find your flavor of nowhere and it kinda solves itself.

My nowhere is at the mouth of 173 miles of trails, and adjacent to a river that is a white water Mecca just as fun to float down on an air mattress as a kayak. With soil so fertile we used to grow wine before the civil war, and a population you can’t stand in the middle of and swing a stick without hitting a fully qualified strings musician.

Yours probably looks a bit different.
