Maybe. But the op doesn’t sound, to me, like he’s looking for responsibility-free anything. He sounds like he’d gladly take a more responsibility-requiring approach, if that’s what it takes to get what he wants.
Kristopher, I think your plan sounds quite reasonable. Something to consider: your plans may change. I bought my first house when I was 25. It wasn’t in an area I wanted to stay in forever, so I didn’t plan on staying. My second house (I was 28) was in an area I really liked, and I thought I’d stay in that house forever. I bought/moved to other primary residences at 30, 35, 41, and 49. Each I thought was my last. You just never know.
