What should i do?? Need advice.

[Budologist420]

Im 22 yrs old an i have an established legit career as a journeyman meat cutter. I take home about 650 a week. I have payments totalling 800 a month for different things. Not including food.

Basically my question is should i move out with my girlfriend (future wife) or stay living at her parents house and save money to buy a house.

We only pay 300 a month rent and they let us smoke weed an pretty much do what we want as long as we claeN up and are respectful to them.

I have about 5 thousand saved so far, but the reason im askig is because we cant handle the people we live with. Way too much drama.

Ive been wanting to get our own spot but i dont know if we can grow living in a rental. Not sure what i should do i know if i had my own spot and could start growing indoors we could make some good money doin it.

Or should i just be patient and tough it out until we have enough saved to buy.

I'd find a private landlord thats not fussy about checkups

You can't live with your parents as an adult. Thats just how it is. Your in california, so I wouldn't worry about growing, just follow the rules like if it was illegal, don't tell anybody, keep your smell under control so nobody tries to jack your shit.

Get to know someone that is into flipping foreclosed homes. I'd ask them to sell you one with just a finders fee. Most flippers don't have an active real estate license (for legal reasons) and if they can make a couple of grand for just connecting the dots-they'll do it.

Google real estate investment groups in your area and go to 2 or 3 meetings. Get to know a few people they will definitely help you if they can.

So, I'd stay just a little bit longer and then make the move. You might be able to own your own home-soon.

Best of luck to you. WW

You're in a pretty good situation imo. My snapshot advice (free ... and worth it!! ) is: continue saving ... but keep an eye on the market. When it bounces, it'll probably bounce HARD, even if it's a phantom bounce in a deeper recession.
I'm house hunting as well ... and I won't let ANYONE tell me it isn't a buyer's market.
Except, of course, the bank. cn

you can grow in a rental, but it is tough. they usually do inspections once a year and it is hell to break everything down and move it all away (and then set it all up again) just so they can do a 10 minute walk through.

Theres no way i'm going to bother with that.

totally move out, it's worth it. Get legal to grow small amounts personal if you're in california. I've never had to go through an inspection but I guess every apartment is different. You could just take your pot plant out into your car and put a house plant under the light, lol

I think you should move out with your girlfriend and save money to buy a house. It will be an incentive to earn more for you. I also suggest to pay attention to foreclosure listings. Foreclosure properties represent a way to buy real estate because they can be purchased at discount prices, typically between 10% to 50% below market value
