That might literally be the best advice I've ever heard

How about dont buy, save yourself some money n just lease a place, i think the idea of the social importance of home ownership is something of our parents generation

It's a buyers market, a friend of mine just dove in and is paying about $100 more than his apartment (mortgage, taxes, and mortgage insurance), small price to pay for more privacy and a hell of a lot more room.

My biggest regret is not getting a home with a 3 car garage and more land.

This is the place I'd come for advice in these matters as well.

Never bought one, but I've burned a couple... oops...

I knew what house I wanted after the first day of looking. Been here 2 years, no regrets.

Tony is ballin' 16 years old; got his own house, 2 cars, and a large ugly ass lawn that needs hella work. Fix that shit Tony.

 

[Mac Jesus]

And the fact that some random Canadian knows that shit, means you're putting too much info on the internet Tony.

At 16 years old no one should know that much about you.

Just sayin.

Buying a house is one of the best investments you can make, even with the housing market crash. Everyone that bought a $500,000 house in Compton was bound to lose money. Spending almost a million in Chula Vista for a 2,000 sq ft house is also a bad investment. If you do your research and invest wisely, purchasing a home is a GREAT idea. Rent/homes are pretty cheap in Oklahoma City relatively speaking but we paid almost 20,000 in rent over the last 2 years. Why do that when I can buy a home for 100,000 nicer than where I live now?

@ mac teefus, this is a place to get quick responses or jokes about stuff like this. I've asked the people I already know that are home owners and heard their input, figured I'd ask the siccness in the event someone had some good input. If not, there would probably something at least to laugh about, like what Timebomb said.

 

[Mac Jesus]

while we're asking questions only the siccness could answer, anyone know where I can cop one of these in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada?

Before u buy a house u should request proof of a promissory note and a deed of trust, because if they don't have that than u wont even own the house even if u pay it all off.its already happened to alotta people because banks are crooked.

you, as a home buyer, aint gotta do none of this research, that's what title companies are paid to do for you.

Bought my first house when i was 24, i also have a rental condo that i purchased 4yrs ago...its a gamble, but the investment pays off....

I bought my house 7 months ago the only thing that surprised me was how many houses we had to put offers on before one was accepted. The banks have a bunch of foreclosures that they are sitting on and they are releasing them slowly so every house still had 5+ offers on it. And a lot of them were going way over the asking price but the one we ended up getting was right at the asking price. Other than that I was happy with the difference in my taxes this year since I could write off the interest and the real estate fees paid.
