The above average worker can't even qualify

[Tausen Richmond]

In my area the cheapest you can get a home is about 200k. If your lucky you score a 20$/hr job (min is 12$), and get 40k per year, and are still unable to qualify. This is a reality for most people around me, they rent and are on the edge of homelessness all the time.

What can they do? What real options do they have? How do they have a chance to get into real estate?
