Joke is, most of these homes aren't worth anywhere close to their paper value.
Cy Porter's home inspection videos... jeez. How these "builders" are still in business is mind-blowing to me (as a German). Here? Some of that shit he shows would lead to criminal charges for fraud.
There is an old Russian joke, that goes like this:
A man approaches a girl and asks, "Would you sleep with me for $1 million?”
She responds, “Yes, of course!”
Excited, he then asks, “What about for $1?”
She indignantly replies, “Who do you think I am?”
To which he responds, “We already established who you are; now we’re just discussing the price.”
I think it fits there. There is surprising amount of people believing that they have some Values, but just to a point when they were offered to sell them for a right price.
Yeah that could convince smart competent people to grind their teeth and take a second chance under the same management.
But I don’t think a self respecting person would do that over and over.
When people live in multi million dollar homes, self-respect doesn't pay monthly mortgage.
So it's really not the astronomical salary, it's the astronomical debt.

You may be over-estimating how many people are self-respecting?
Depends on the paycheck.
People will do crazy things for just $100. Including literally get fucked in the ass by a stranger.
7 figures? Ho boy. They’ll use way fancier words though for that.
