    How are young people supposed to wing it when they first start out? Let alone, save up for the 20% down with rent rates and mortgage rates/purchase prices so damned high?

    It's not like they can have roommates in a 900SF apartment.....

    Well, not large-ish roommates, at any rate. :#


    You'd need a flat mate.

    Biting my tongue to comment. Some of the posts are like a national weather report. Doesn't work.

    9 years. The home is now worth double what we paid for it too. We bought at the right time and it's a nice house with enough room to live very comfortably. All brick, metal wrapped and architectural shingles. No complaints here.

    Especially since there is no HOA to deal with. That was a requirement we did not budge on when looking.
