    I was lucky enough to be able to leverage a VA loan, and had a solid and secure job during the 2008 recession, which is the ONLY reason I was able to buy a home. Ever.

    I couldn’t do it today. Not 3 years ago during “The bestest economies evar!” Not 6 years ago while the admin was “Making American Great Again”…

    Nope, it was because of a recession, so houses sat on market for 4 or 5 months. Almost any offer was being taken. I even talked the seller down 9K on my home. That’s how bad it was.
