Purchasing a Home

[blaknoize]

I've had a house since i was 21, and im closing on another tract of land this week. The prices are very reasonable right now, i think youre going to see a slow rise now for a few years.

Really, since 21? Well I also think that since you were in a part of the country that was growing that was possible. All the way up here, we started to have a snow-bird and de-unionization effect that ate up quite a few jobs here. But now that that has settled, we can get back to living more or less. The only reason I'm a member here is because I've lived in GA 6 separate occasions looking for work. I couldn't do that with a home and it scared me a bit.

Yeah, the small town i live in is a college town so rentals are crazy high, it made more sense to purchase a home than it did to rent an apartment or house. Plus i had the cash to put down so it wasnt an issue. Its definitely a good feeling to own your home, but also be ready for all the stuff that goes along with it.. maintenance, pest control, home furnishings, furniture, utilities, property taxes & insurance etc. it can definitely add up more quickly then you expect!

Yea but that's the excitement behind it. Dealing with it all. It feels good to do the things you thought you could never do when younger. I want to at least say I did it once.
