When you buy or sell there are heavy fees. The fees are unfortunately based also on credit and $$$. So it favors those of us with good credit and good jobs and income. Something we don't talk about is the deals often companies have with banks that give them "discounted" fees/rates/or special deals. Also these lower fees are usually based on refinances. Buying a home say as a FHA often times can be very expensive. Since DH and I have always had money, credit we've been very lucky. But I can tell you when my mom and her siblings were starting out it was very difficult. Thankfully they were smart and able to work the system. I mean my uncle opened the first bank account at 14 when he was working and took each younger sibling to open a bank account and start banking and building credit and just becoming responsible. My mom understood the system and helped each sibling buy "low" income entry level track homes for them and how to get into lottery and fill out paperwork. So it's not easy to get out of being poor and on the road to wealth building.

So this is a form of racism I hate to point out.

It's a weird thing in the US. being poor makes it harder to get out of being poor.
