im getting nervous thinking about your purchase. that doesn’t mean you should get nervous. but a nervous person might get nervous. I guess if I were paying 1/2 of my 300,000 a year income, it wouldn’t be as life-altering as paying half of a 100,000 salary. abstractly i like to believe im a contrarian, but i have no idea what the contrarian view is in terms to housing purchases. Maybe you’re running with the herd, maybe youre boldly taking a contrarian position. maybe none of it matters. except location. being properly situated is worth a lot.
