    I bought mine at 31, and sometimes I regret it and sometimes I don’t! Almost 5 years later and still not sure if I did the right thing! I do love it though! Big and cosy in north England near Scotland, less than 2 hours from Edinburgh 🥰, near the sea with seagulls singing all day long!

    Bought my house at 25 and still live here 30 years later (it's by the beach). Congratulations! Remember things break
    Edit: My father always said he never had a problem affording the house. It was the utilities, trash cans, gutters, landscaping, etc., that were issues.
    Also living the Zojirushi lifestyle! Somehow I ended up with 2 rice cookers, but the water boiler, bread maker, bento boxes, and thermos are also great ;).

    I recommend you take your time finding a house. Don’t rush into it since a house is a huge investment and you don’t want to regret buying something you’re not fully happy with

  • @ronc9413

    I bought a condo last year (first time home buyer). Learned the hard way. Don't bid on the first house you look at and/or visit. Spend at least a month looking. New listings are posted daily. Look at different areas. If there are any reservations (dislikes), it's not the house you should buy (you shouldn't have to convince yourself you should buy it). When making your budget, don't forget all the bills that go along with getting a house (regular bills, down payment, mortgage payment, inspection costs, utilities, HOA fees, insurance, maintenance, property tax, closing costs, etc).

    Perseverance is a key ingredient when making a purchase of your first new home. It is a wonderful experience watching your video on getting tips & advice of investing on your first home, although I am not in a position to do so right now. I hope both of you will eventually get a new home in the future, once you guys get a better career than your current one. 🙂

      @MarkIrwin02 2 роки тому

      @@hannahkirkpatrick5442 rather have my own private pool. Also we have the choice to chose to buy a house in a nice neighborhood or not. So all the benefits for the most part can be achieved without a HOA and without all the negatives they bring.

    As someone who bought a house in the seattle area, i can confirm that buying now is a smart move as apr is low now and prices for houses are increasing lol. Look into new homeowner programs as well. You can get money for increasing the energy efficiency of the house.

    Great decision! I hate having HOA! Ur right it does cost too much and u have so many do’s and dont’s that it makes u feel like u don’t even own ur own home! Wen I purchased my house there wasn’t HOA. We were the second family to buy in the development. HOA came after I bought the house. Oh yeah they charged me 300$ cause my husky got loose one day. Lol
    HOA is a trip!! Avoid it if possible!

  • @hugs_xo
    @hugs_xo 2 роки тому +4

    oof. I think it was a good call to not purchase that HOA home. The fees would not be a fit for everyone else that would be interested in buying it off you. HOA fees feel like a 'monthly rent'.

    Kevin has good points. A good house needs to have good feng shui, and a bathroom on the first floor is important !! You ever driving home and need to use the bathroom so bad you can’t wait to bust through the doors and let it out. If I had to climb the stairs to use the bathroom might just piss or sht myself so lol

    I would never buy a single family house period, it’s expensive , and a waste of money. I would buy an apt complex instead and u get the cash flow every month plus u can pass that property and cash flow for the next generation. It will also leads you to financial freedom without working a job for 30-40 years.

    I know for sure I won’t buy a house in America. I’ll just live with my parents in their house . I don’t think it’s worth it. I’d rather save that money or buy land in my country. In America you even have to pay house taxes . SICKKKK and the land your house stands on is not even your own land , it’s more like your house is standing on someone else’s land that was stolen from the natives 🤢🤢🤢🤢

      @retired5218 2 роки тому

      Stolen from the natives? Down through history people have fought to take over land & expand or to conquer other tribes/people. Not just white Europeans. Has happened between Native American tribes, Africans and Europeans. Look at WW1 AND WW2. And I own the land under my house.
