Thanks for you clarification. Now I understand where you were coming from. I believe it is “Want to Buy” that set the tone of this thread. Nothing to argue then. I guess whether I decide to buy or not, I will do it without too relying on this board’s consultation.
As I figured it out, I feel my case might be different from “Want to Buy”. I am more looking at a property where the monthly cost after buying it is close to rent it now. Just as discussed in the thread: http://piggington.com/what_is_a_reasonable_expectation
Congratulations to your happy marriage. Welcome to post some opinion there when you read the thread. Appreciate that.
