I'm literally going through a purchase of a home on 5 acres, riverfront, workshop and pole barn for ~$300k, within commuting distance to a large midwest metro area.
$300 is the purchase price, not the mortgage.
Salaries around here for skilled software engineers are typically $100-150k, depending on years of experience and field.
A friend of mine in the same area is working remotely for a major SV company making $175k.
For the love of whatever you consider to be holy, don't think that the SV lifestyle and cost of living are representative of the country as a whole.
