True, you need to be able to afford to home while you’re living in it, but you make all of that up and more when you sell the property.

Also, your “costs multiple times your monthly mortgage” comment is a rare thing. Usually its just a couple of hundred dollars type of repair, and its a few times in a year.

fuck are you talking about? you don’t know anything about me or my house. every house, especially old ones like my late 1800s cottage, needs major repairs. people on the internet making presumptions, so nice to be here.
