Well, I've met a few couples who did but not in California.

You can pick up foreclosure homes for cheap in some states. If you don't have children and not worried about neighborhood and school districts.
Now you see.
Neighbourhood has come into play,which means outright ghetto,which could go for very less.
And you said you know "couples" who did,which simply points 2 income earners putting funds together for a particular acquisition.
Now you see...
Its almost impossible for a minimum wage earner to buy a $300k home like that dude claims.

I can't come back.
I left a JOB of $800 monthly pay in Nigeria for a JOB of at least $1500 weekly pay.
And that's not yet my DREAM JOB.

I LEFT NIGERIA because I was overwhelming tired of how people are treated.
I was robbed countless times in Nigeria
Can't imagine my KIDS passing through such.

We have no regard for HUMANS not to talk of creatures.

Even if you carpool, there's no way that there's no hold up on that route except if you work in the dead of night.

110N/605N parking lot, 10E/91E another parking lot, even 60E. Coming back home same thing.

You got fed up because you didn't have money to be where you think you deserve,its that simple.
Almost all of you relocate for financial deficiencies so please spare me the ills talk.

Your story does not add up.

Regarding mortgage or not.

First, they just don't hand mortgage to everyone. You have to financial qualify with good earnings.

Secondly, even if you have cash to pay, it is more prudent to get a mortgage. Put your money into a fixed deposit, take the mortgage and enjoy a generous tax write off on your mortgage interest.

The best way to become a millionaire in the USA is to make a good use of the credit system.

Buy house A and move in there as your primary residence. After a few years take out a second mortgage and buy a rental property and put tenant in there. After a few years take out a second mortgage on the rental property and buy the next rental property (you now have another income stream from the tenants to use to qualify). And so on and so forth. Those house will be going up in value. You can then sell some once the value is good and then use that money to invest in other stuff.

Credit is not bad, you just have to know how to use it properly.

U can't take FINANCIAL REASON out as well.
Because in AFRICA we have highly dependent people surrounding you.
People give birth to KIDS they can't manage.

And the LITTLE you make is being robbed away on regular basis by Hoodlums.
U won't understand how much I suffered even with my Good Job in Naija.

No security at all.....

No they are not.

Nigerian immigrants here are some of the best educated and well employed citizens the country has to depend on.

Actually backed by research.

Not that old wives tales of washing dishes and cleaning toilets. (Not that it’s bad)
Do you have a stats source?

I am alluding to the average Nigerian immigrant and not highly skilled professionals.

I expect the immigrants' income to follow a bell curve like every other demographics.
Few outliers and majority average.

Belonging to a group that is best-educated and well employed does not preclude that the majority
of that same group are average or below income-wise.

It will be a 10th wonder of the world if an average Nigerian in the US earns significantly above the average wage of the country.
