[quote=SD Realtor]I would be a little concerned if it is a necessity to have a roomie in order to afford the mortgage. To me that would get old very fast. You may want to consider other areas that are more affordable. I assume you can get approved for financing without the expected room rental.[/quote]

It’s not a necessity. I can afford 2400/mo but would prefer for my mortgage to be more like 1650 + get a roommate so I have some cash to invest / save.
