I did the "starter home" thing in 2006 and then the market crashed and I was under water until 2019...

I would never recommend the idea of a "starter home" to anyone, ever. It only works when housing prices are on the rise and continue that way the entire time you live there.

is there such a thing as non-survivor bias? You perfectly timed the most dramatic fall in home prices in maybe a 100 years. The subprime collapse aside, a home purchase is usually a safe investment.
