[QUOTE="L8APEX, post: 16198163, member: 51947"] If your are worried about the maintenance there are condos and housing developments that cover most things. Interior isn't usually as hard to keep up with if you can find something halfway new. My house is 37 years old, with about 2k sqft above and another 1.9k below ground is right around $900 a month with taxes included in the mortgage payment. The only apartment I've had was a 1 bed <800 square feet and was $850. Electricity was more there than the house as I had to run the AC on max year round. Heat from the lower units on top of basically not being insulated was terrible. Stayed 6 months. Unless you want the ability to pick up and move it's silly not to put money towards a house, even in the worst markets you're more likely than not to get a much better return on your money than tossing it in the bank, You might get more from the market, but I cant live in the stock market. Even after accounting for/subtracting the mortgage interest ~4% (which is deductible in most cases). Even here in Kansas where property is relatively cheap my house has gone from 158k to 180k since 2015, just keeping it up. [/QUOTE]
