[quote=scaredycat]well, on closer inspection and advisal, the fha payment isn’t really exactly comparable to our rental. it’s getting close, though. the inertia for me is I guess that our rental is such a damned good deal and relatively stable. if our landlord was flakier or the rental price was jacked up to the price of a purchase, i guess i’d have more fire to the feet. landlord’s probably thinking, well, at least this guy pays every month, doesn’t hassle me much. maybe the fha payment would be 800 a month higher? give or take? i don’t know how my spouse puts up with me…
ok i changed my mind since this weekend. i told her we were definitely going to buy somehting, screw it, let’s just borrow the fha limits and buy the nicest place we can find. the hell with it. I’m waiting until 2010. winter 2010. that’s my year. by that I mean, someetime between october 2010 and feb 2011. in fact, i need to stop reading this blog until then.[/quote]
