Don’t think you are judging. Comment definitely just came from position of what I infer as having privilege:

- 10 year retirement (no idea your age but assuming this earlier retirement/semi-retirement)

- Rental properties that are cash flow positive (require in most circumstances a bigger down payment)

- Assuming others have enough income left over to put into the stock market after rent. Don’t consider madness for families to balance their lifestyle and savings

Either way, I believe the majority of these homes Zillow bought are more towards the lower-middle class budgets. Which is kind of my point on frustration with the inflated cost. It’s a much bigger impact than a lot of tech bros/girls probably feel personally.
