Can you imagine how that conversation went in their household?

@Jeff G.If you only look at one meteric, look at Median household income.

Hello BiggerPockets community,
My wife and I have a combined W-2 income of approximately $550K, supplemented by $100K in stock grants annually. The income distribution is roughly 60/40 between us. We’re long-term ren...

So, $60,480 in household income per year.

Like imo if your household income with that guy is like $5400, you have no business being there (literally my other was shot at multiple times).

Then I pay her $35 for any manual labor like cleaning, leaf/yard clean up, painting, any easy household repairs that she is able to do. 

We are starting to see this change as Millennials are moving to the area looking for a better lifestyle.One huge improvement the Wenatchee area has seen is the median household income level which is now at $87,500.

Your primary tenant should be your eye's and hears of the household, but I wouldn't give them duties of your responsibility. 

Over 50% of all households have pets.

lol we are talking the same, lets say we do some input statistic analysis ( i did it before ), so in 2009 the mortgage debt with typical husband and wife working is like 29% ; now that number is going as much as 44% in some cities. also our home price is created using auction systems, if there'e 100 houses in one zip code, the pricing discovery in created by the last 3-5 home purchasers, which indicate 95% of other folks does not necessarily able to purchase home or do mortgage with current rate.Which cause a problem, one household either need to maintain job that can continously paying the mortgage and/or the loyalty of husband and wife is a MUST LOL Having said that, to maintain 1.5 mil homes in bay area for example, husband and wife should not divorce for 30 years at least.But for 150k house in Ohio, the husband can divorce their wife anytime while maintain the mortgage payment LOLHaving said that, getting divorce is very suicidal for financial.but also creating different effect, for single guy, there's almost no way they can purchase home, unless they're cardiologist or any other high income earner LOL (this example is just for fun).In our area the home supply is coming from two sources mainly: people going retirement and want to cash out or separation in relationship LOLGetting separation is very expensive especially if you born in 1970/1980/1990s, I would even argue the moment you are married-->single thus you become the renter class again LOL
