It’ll actually work out better for me since I currently live by myself and pay all the rent and utilities, and I’m buying with my partner so I’ll finally be able to share the load 😀
I found a rare rent-to-own locally. So it’s in my name and otherwise the same as buying, except the original owner is the bank. As long as I stay 2-3 years, I come out ahead if viewed as a rental. If I make it 20 (or can get ahead/clever in various ways), I own it outright/maybe make a little bit.
The year I turned 40, was the year I moved into my first non-rental property.
I’m living proof that shit is fucked up
I’m a couple of years older and JUST escaped renting. It’s ridiculous!
Welcome to the club.
What percentage of your income now goes to your mortgage payment? For me, it’s like 110%… But I have help, so my share is only like 35%

I’m turning 40 in a few days. I finally moved into a crazy beat-up fixer-upper/possible crime scene about 3 weeks ago.
Welcome to the club. Were you able to afford the fixer upper on your own, or did you need to split the financial burden with another person?
