What's your rent?

[quickdodge®]

there is a difference in surviving and being stupid, if you have good credit and are currently paying over $900+ a month in rent then you are just dumb. I can see if you have a temp situation to try things out like: just moving out on your own, or moving in w/ your girl to see if things work. But $900+ a month up in the suburbs can get you a nice home. If your going to throw away that amount of money a month it should be in something you can call yours

I agree. My credit isn't all that great. Like I said, above, I only pay $700/month for my house. He has talked before about turning it into a for sale thing with me, though. Later, QD.

Lease to own would be perfect in your situation then...but i'd make sure you had a good lawyer to go over the contract first. It's too easy to get screwed if you're not going through a traditional bank or mortgage company.

I know a few property management companies have been offering to put the money you spend on a lease through them towards a down payment or mortgage on a house (some of the larger ones that have joint construction companies). I think it's win win scenerio...may not be the time to get a house but still technically not throwing the money away yet they are still profiting from it.
