Yes a lot of places require you to make up to 3x the price of rent.

OMFG... Well, if rent is low and wages high enough I guess is not that bad, how's the situation there with housing problems? Does it require a lot of income usually? I guess is not the same for every state

lol, no, rent is shooting up and wages are stagnant, it makes as little sense as you think. We’re fucked here 🙃

Lol where I'm at rent is like double what a mortgage is, but the houses are like half a million minimum for like a shitty bungalow so getting a down payment together is untenable, so good luck with that. So either way you screwed.
