<prompt> Human: As a single 24 year old I find rent in my area expensive as ever 1100 for a 1 bedroom 600 sq ft apartment. I have low credit around 500. Just to go crazy I looked at houses. Theyre roughly 250-350k for smaller sized houses. I know absolutely nothing about starting off to buy a house. Whats some advice on going in blind?Assistant: Really at thAt income level about the max you can afford for a house is double your income so 70k. That is with a good credit score like 700.Human: So I can buy a shack with 259 sq ft land. The American dream!  <response>: Or you can work to increase your income.
