MGTOW First Time Home Buyer P~~~ed

[WhackerGuy2030Participant 999]

I cannot begin to express how s~~~ty the real estate market is when it comes to finding a home for the modern MGTOW. I’m not talking about affordability, I’m talking about finding homes that aren’t completely designed for women.
.
My list of desired features are not outlandish. They are:
–A larger garage
–A yard large enough to garden
–A modestly sized, easy to work on, energy efficient house
–One without a fenced in back yard for purse dogs

I feel like I’m painted into a box. Doesn’t matter if I’m looking at $80k homes, or half million dollar homes. The modern man has had the last part of his refuge from the gynoarchy taken away. The garages are only large enough to get the truck in, if you take off the receiver hitch and park at an angle to the wife.
.
No room for a bench in front or on the side. No room to get a boat in there. No room for a beer fridge or an area to congregate around a flat screen.
.
The death of the “suitable” garage and the trend towards not finishing basements during construction leave me believing the real estate market is driven completely by women.
.
P~~~es me right off.

And don’t get me started about the fancy third stall in the newer larger homes. Have you ever driven through the burbs and looked into those 3rd stalls when the door is up?
.
Completely full of useless s~~~. Totes full of decorations, clothes, un-used furniture, piles of undesired toys, throw away lawn equipment etc. I weep for the man in those homes when I see that. There is no clearer sign that they have not only lost control, but also any shred of consideration they once thought they’d retain.
.
That’s not an invasion, it’s a completed conquest.

I know almost nothing about homebuying or homebuilding – but can you have someone design & build one custom for you? Yes, i know it’ll be more expensive that way; how much more expensive are we talking?

Take your list to an architect if you haven’t already – see what they say. I think it’d be pretty badass to walk in to their office & say “I don’t want these bulls~~~ chick-houses. Build me a home fit for Teddy Roosevelt!”

[FrankyParticipant 2338]

Hmm i would just get a huge yard and attempt to reshape everything.
My dad managed to build a house and he knew nothing when he started.

It’s more work but you can have a garage and garden as big as you want it

[WhackerGuy2030Participant 999]

I like your style Matt. I will tell you this much. I will keep paying rent before I settle for something that offers zero utility improvement over my apartment.
.
I’m piling up cash fast enough, I’ll wait five years if I have to and build a man home. I just never realized how f~~~ed society was until I started looking through the MGTOW prism.
.
There are three distinct housing classes where I live, apartments, townhouses, and mansions. The garages are the same size in all three. The starter homes are either junk that will end up costing around $150,000 to purchase and get to livable, or they are way over $150,000 and offer nothing to a guy like me.

[WhackerGuy2030Participant 999]

I’ve also kicked around the idea of building a shouse (shed-house) first and worrying about the home down the road.

Damn, I envy you. Around here where I live in Australia, 1 hour North of Sydney CBD crappy houses “start” from $750,000.

I was looking in to building a house not too long ago, and if you go for a modular, prices really weren’t that bad. The “average” 3bed/1.5 bath house with no garage around where I was looking would be on about a 1/3-1/2 acre lot, be about 30 years old, and go about 200k.

Looking at lots 1 town over in a less developed area(about 10 minutes away) I could buy 3-5 acres for about 60-100k, and build a house ready to live in with an actual cement basement and not just a s~~~ty slab, a 2 car garage, and paved driveway and everything for 180k…so really to build a house with a bigger chunk of land I was looking at about a 30k difference…which would easily be made up for in repairs over the next 20 years that would be required in a 30 year old house vs a brand new one.

The other catch is I was looking at building a cape. Depending exactly on what floor plan I went with…it would leave me with a basement and a first floor with a full bath, kitchen, bedroom, and a tv/computer room. I would have left the top unfinished…however, the upstairs would have enough space for two bedrooms and a half bath. The builders would also essentially run conduits down to the breakers so if you ever wanted to wire it you just had to drop wire down, and they’d run pipes up to the bathroom and cap them, so if you wanted to add that half bathroom up stairs you were pretty much set up for a toilet and sink already. The perk of this is you could save money on the initial cost of the house, and at least in my state anyhow since the space wasn’t insulated or wired or anything it wasn’t livable space so it didn’t count as square footage for your tax assessment. It was still perfectly good space for storage or space that could easily be finished down the road, or even just having the space available if you wanted to sell at some point would make the house more appealing because most people aren’t really looking to buy a one bedroom house. This was for a house that would have been about 1200sf on the first floor and 700 more upstairs…so really plenty of space for a single dude and something that would still be attractive to a family for future resale purposes.

I ran into a lot of the same s~~~ you did while looking. I’d find houses with crappy tiny lots and no garages, yet they had a full bath for every bedroom…basically most houses had features I didn’t want and lacked what I wanted. It was pretty much impossible to find a reasonable bachelor pad. In the end I just stuck with my condo because I live in a s~~~ty high tax state and I didn’t want to pay 5k+ a year in property taxes plus all the extra maintenance and heating/utility costs just to have a little more space. Minimalism wins for now…hopefully some day I can get out of this high tax state:(

Took me 3 YEARS to find the right house. Only 900sf, has just under an acre of land (enough for large scale gardening and greenhouse), well water, not off grid but enough land for a few solar and a windmill. Women demand McMansions because they need to “keep up apperances”. F~~~ that.

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, it is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning; it is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

I went the route Matt suggested and had my house built the way I want it, this is the best way to get exactly what you want.

[StargazerParticipant 12505]

I faced the exact same issue for a long time. I’ve got projects that need to be worked on, vehicles that should be kept and serviced inside, stuff to clean and store. I don’t need a garden tub or a formal dining room or a linen closet you could park a car in.

So the question was rent a house with a bunch of tiny rooms I don’t need and a bunch of big rooms I don’t need or get a huge warehouse and have to sleep in my trailer.

What I want is a 500 square foot house designed like the inside of a travel trailer, efficient and just big enough for a bachelor… attached to a garage/workspace that would make Tony Stark jealous. Room for my vehicles, my hydroponics, my telescopes, all the toys. And an exterior space with an east facing view so I can see the sky at night.

And the bathroom would have a urinal in it.

[RoyDalParticipant]

I found what you are looking for in a rural area, and that is where I live.

The bad news is, the Big City is an hour drive, if, and only if, the traffic is light.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

[SolidusXParticipant 854]

I hear you brothers, where I live is mansion after prefab mansion all full of rooms that serve no real purpose and costing a mill+. Some ‘cheaper’ places are 2 bedroom apartments that run 300+ and in a s~~~y neighbourhood, it’s completely f~~~ed where I am. I am saving money like mad to move up north and buy cheap land to settle on.

Knowledge is power..... Don't waste your brain on bullshit

[ResidentEvil7Participant 9540]

I found a house that if I had the money, I would of nailed it and it’s only a 1 minute drive from where I live now. It’s a bi-level house with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a finished downstairs with recess lightening and I would of used that downstairs for the Dave And Busters theme. Unfortunately, by the time I get the money, that house will be long taken, if it hasn’t already since houses are up for sale everywhere here in my west suburban Chicago town. The house was built in 1989, and it’s already set up the way I wanted it; for the most part. The kitchen needs to be redone in something other than dark wood. I prefer light colored wood cabinets and granite countertops. I would love to it having a brick fireplace in the upstairs living room. Other than a tree in the backyard, it’s the perfect house for me.

Too bad I don’t have anywhere near the price for it, which is $250 in a upper middle class town, but the taxes here are horrible. My dad pays $7,800 a year on property taxes and some of it is because Illinois is over taxed. F~~~ing Democrats and their need for taxes!
