ParticipantHere’s my situation:
*Single
*No kids
*No debt
*SuccessfulI am happy renting, don’t see it as a waste of money as some will try and convince me. I have enough money after rent to invest some and spend some on toys.
Why I’m looking to buy:
I would like a yard to garden and entertain in. I’d like the ability to customize my living quarters (paint, tile, carpets, fixtures). I like working on my vehicles. I’m mechanically savvy and often help friends with theirs. This is hard or impossible to do in an apartment. I’d like the garage for my tools and any other hobbies I wish to take up. I can make more noise in a house, play my music at night, use power tools and play the drums. Walking around the back yard naked is nice to!
Sure I could rent a house and have all the same perks, but the cost to rent a house in this market will not be much less than buying.

Participant[quote=sdrealtor]Tillers that is Alabama not a major metroplitan area. Go to any coastal state with major metro areas and you will pay higher tax rates. More desireable places cost more. If you want cheaper places to live they are aplenty[/quote]
It’s not exactly the sticks. It’s just outside of Huntsville, home to Redstone arsenal, Space and Rocket center and one of the largest defense spending cities in the area of the country. My father was one of the structural engineers on the international space station, out of Alabama.
My post didn’t mention anything about cost of living, it was comparing the tax rates. And being a coastal city should have absolutely no bearing on a tax rate.
If anything, tax rates should be lower in areas with more people as the cost is shared among more people. Like one one person living in a house is going to pay more than 4 people living in a house, as the common costs are shared.
