Hilarious.
Show me where you're going to live with a 200k loan please and then I will remind you that the people there make 15$ an hour.

Not to mention you could buy 5 homes for 200k with a median Home price in 1971 that was 35k.

Estimated payments on a 35k home at 9% 30 year fixed is 230 dollars. (1975 rates)

If you bought the home 3 yeas earlier the payments would be $90 (1972 rates)
