Those poor people were barely able to afford a $2 million house in this ad for Rocket Mortgage.

Banks not just Rocket mortgage have check lists on steps to buying a home. People don’t have to stumble through anything. They didn’t talk about any key steps in this, just a feel good ad.

Vice Media has fallen pretty low if they're making sneak mortgage company ads under the guise of journalism. "In partnership with Rocket Mortgage"

If you meet the requirements, look into getting a home through Habitat for Humanity. I have been volunteering 2-3 days a week with them for 3 and a half years now doing home builds and their 'aging in place' initiative. And, NO, they don't give you the house but you do get an interest free mortgage. Future homeowners also have to do 250 hours (at our Habitat affiliate-others may vary) of 'sweat equity' working on the construction of your home, you also have to do 10-12 workshops on homeownership that cover things like maintenance, budgeting, etc.

Probably the worst time to buy a house right now at 7.5% interest rates and rising

Nice little Rocket Mortgage ad disguised as a news story.

[RyanEclipse]

This was like watching a paid local news sponsor on TV. Who are you people eating this up? Thanks Rocket Mortgage! lol

[lazyakers]

How is this news? Seriously. People buy and sell houses everyday in this world.

[KingC]

Vice news is just mortgage company ads now. Down bad.

[jedimindtrixrkidz]

Did you guys really just wash all the comments out to protect Rocket? I know you're broke n desperate for cash to keep the ship afloat, but come on... Just trying to let poor folk know about the USDA Rural Development program with no down payment required and the lowest interest rates possible...

[jimysker]

I blame the sponsors and producers of VICE for this odd and completely non-educational story. They didn't talk about the money, they didn't talk about the so called steps they needed to take, the whole thing is just like look at this couple who bought a house without help from their parents! What is this honestly?!?!?!

[lazyakers]

2:55 did someone get paid to plug rocket mortgage in this video?

[Rippypoo]

Looks like a beautiful house. If this is a house that they could afford, then what the hell were they looking at they could NOT afford? They're cute little careers must bring them a lot of money. Yes, I'm envious because I'll never have a house or anything else.

[jedimindtrixrkidz]

Why did they delete a post letting low income families know about zero down super low interest USDA Rural Development? Is this a paid ad or something with the banks?

New York is currently at Great Depression levels of homelessness

Shilling for Finance! Our little VICE is all grown up!

My friend used to live in California and said that it was so great because in an hour he could be at the beach and in 3 hours he could be in the mountains. I live in Georgia so I countered with 'in 4-5 hours I have my pick of the Atlantic or the Gulf and in 60-90 minutes I can be in the mountains AND I can afford a house!'

[Beesa]

This isn't news, it's a vomit inducing mortgage advert which depicts a situation which is unrealistic for the vast majority of people to even hope for.

[adams]

That same guy has been in other ads before. Weird

Umar would be so disappointed u mean to tell me no black man wanted this black woman
