when you find that sure thing please let me know scaredycat! i want my my home to be a great place to live at a price that makes sense (pretty much what i could rent it for, per previous post). now i have quality of life, a happy wife, and between paying down principal and eventual appreciation, it will almost certainly be a darn good long term investment.
but if it’s not what have you lost, you have to live somewhere and pay something!
