How old were you when

[talisman]

23 3/2/2 in Irving.

Still in it, but will be selling or making it a rental soon and moving back to a small apartment or buying a small condo.

(I'm cheap and don't have much stuff anyway, so I don't need more than 600sq ft)

Make it a rental just in case. I went from a house to an apartment for a little over a year thinking I'd like it since I'm a bit of a minimalist, and while it was a fine place to live, ultimately I was much happier owning a house than dealing with all the bullshit that comes with an apartment. Condo was marginally better. It just sucks flushing that money away every month, especially if you've already owned.

I was initially going to buy another condo, but the dues for the HOAs have gotten so high since the last time I owned, they ended up almost bridging the gap between the cheapness of a condo compared to the slightly higher monthly expense of a house. With only a couple hundred bucks difference, I'll take a house every time. I'm sure you've already looked, but decent condos in DFW are typically expensive as fuck. I hated the yard work at the old house, so this time I just bit the bullet and hired someone to take care of it, and it has been a much better owning experience for me. Sorry for the novel.

Don't own a house, people want the gold price for their iron and I don't know where I want to live yet. I'm 30.

28. Lived in it for 8 years. In the process of building our new house now.

29 and just finally finding somewhere I want to be for a few years. There's something to be said for the ease of packing up and leaving, which I have done a lot of. I'm stoked about the new place though, 4/3/2 on an acre in a predominantly affluent area

I was 26,bought it in 2003 and lost it is divorce in 2004. I bought me second one in 2005 and sold it 6 years later when the neighborhood started getting too dark. I have been living in y third house since 2011 and hopefully I'll be buying a piece of property on Texoma within a year.

I'm doing something wrong, or my family is too poor.
