Not really. Real estate is exceptionally easy because of how ridiculous mortgage terms are. I'm a bit of a heterodox in my thinking. If people want to do it then it is definitely made easy. I mean a 600-800k duplex can be had for 19k - 25k if you'll live in it and rent the rest out.

It is extraordinarily easy to enter the ownership class in America which is why Marxism rarely takes root here.
