Right now there's an area around me with tons of foreclosed duplex homes that don't necessarily need tons of money but they do need work. If I had the time I could probably make something profitable but no it certainly wouldn't be a gold mine.
College housing also gets treated like shit. Young tenants are the worst.

Nah, it's more like they spill bongwater on the carpet and just leave it there, don't call in the leak on the windowsill until you notice after they move out that the wall's rotting out and now it's a major repair. It's usually not an issue of them doing anything major like using spraypaint on the walls. It's just that young people tend to be terribly neglectful and stuff that would be minor if dealt with promptly tends to get ignored by them until it's a major headache.

Yeah, living on a boat can be enjoyable for the right kind of person. But they should always understand going in that it's not a smart financial decision.
Though to be honest, there are plenty of older tenants that don't give a fuck either.
Back around 2005 when I moved into a brand new apartment building in downtown Bellevue, had just opened, I was trying to keep everything nice & new to keep the deposit and keep it looking nice & new.
Neighbor, first thing he does is invite tons of people over, hotbox the apartment, have everyone draw all over the walls and then kick a whole in his front door.

Having a kid exponentially multiplies the amount of crap you have around and you quickly start to long for a house. We do, anyway.
Like I said, a 1 bedroom condo is no place for 2 people in their late 20s to live. There just isn't enough storage space for all the stuff we've accumulated together over 5 years. I think everyone needs n+1 rooms to people.
we paid 10k for it, dropped another 2k in so far and it's nearly doubled in value. Hooray!

I saw his post on the trailer but you'd be surprised how many smaller foreclosed homes are going for around 12k right now.
Man.
The average house price here is over 400k.
I should retire over there and live like a king.
Haha, no. Those homes he's talking about are either in places most people wouldn't want to live long term and/or the homes are tiny. They're going for 12k for a reason.

This is like my Indonesian Retirement Dream where I retire to Indonesia when I'm like 75 and my wife has succumbed to lung cancer or heart disease and I'm just BALLIN OUTTA CONTROL OVERSEAS.
I have a friend with a house that has no central air, and most of the windows are painted shut.
They're working on getting the windows to open, but it's already like 90 degrees here.
i have this problem right now in my apartment

oh man looking at apartments on craiglist, because my lease is up now and I can stay as a long as I like or move whenever long as I give notice, the dude right above me is moving out and trying to get somebody to take over his lease
which is awesome that dude likes to drop things all the time
I thought the floors/cielings were just shitty for a while then I saw him in the parking lot and wow I've never seen anyone in my life walk with such force.

Yeah, a mobile home isn't a house really. It's an overglorified apartment, but at least I share no walls. Oh and I have a yard and a driveway
The area is nice enough. Most of my neighbors are good people except for the squatters across the street

What is the deal with a yard and why do people want them? I mean, I think a garden at least makes there be a tangible benefit of maintaining and outdoor space.

I want to have a garden, have somewhere for my dogs to run around, have somewhere to plant trees and flowers and stuff, have somewhere for my kids to run around in (i don't have kids yet)

front yard had moles, back yard had blackberry bushes from behind my fence always trying to choke out my trees

Because you can landscape it the way you want to. You have room to hang out with friends when the weather's nice. Place to put the grill. Garden as you mentioned, but there are plenty of benefits along with the costs of having a yard.
"A place for the BBQ to go" is as good a reason as any to want a yard.
Our back garden is basically big enough for a patio to put the BBQ on, a little square of grass and then a little square of decking I laid with a table on.

You can't explain it Druh.
There's just some people who don't want the trouble and there are others who enjoy all the benefits of owning a home. I for one love having a yard, a garage to work in, being able to do what I want whenever I want (as long as my wife says it's OK) in the house.
What I'm not enjoying right now is my entire HVAC system shitting out in a 6 month period. Unfortunately I need to replace it to maintain the home value. Responsibility sucks ass.

Yeah as aggravating as upkeep could get, with kids/dogs/neighbors having a yard was great

It's just when you have savings, you want to use it to build a jet pack or perhaps buy a boat. Not have to do large home upkeep projects you thought would last.

live on boat
College housing also gets treated like shit. Young tenants are the worst.
thing is i had a good job, flat, scooter, girlfriend etc etc
then things went to shite
I've always wanted to do this someday, but living on a boat is a whole different beast full of its own trials and tribulations.
Another terrible financial decision.
"teehee I'm a college freshman and I don't like my wall color"
uses cheap spraypaint all over the place without asking landlord
"But it's art, man!"
Right now, there isn't a bank in the world that would give me a loan...and I'm rather thankful for that.
Boat Kitchens are a joke.
I think the deciding factor will be if I ever have kids.
You have to have a certain mindset to pull that off. Also, enjoying sailing or the water is also helpful.
I have a friend in Annapolis who is doing his best to convince me to move down there, buy a boat, live off said boat and find work in the area.
pretty much

also I am probably going to buy a house in a year and a half, so I'm trying to go scouting at the end of the summer
not in a home that costs close to half a million fucking dollars.
hooray for Chicago housing prices!
