We may be able to buy the place we are in. We just aren't certain if we want to commit to being in this state for another 5-7 years. I think it may be what we do though. My landlord is wants 40k, 5k down and then our usual 500 a month right to the principle. I'm honestly not sure exactly how big the place is but it fits us well, 2 bed, one bath, 2 story, full basement. We've got a good size lot and more of its fenced for our daughter to play in. Also has a garage where I can set up a glass work shop
. All in all its a good starter home if we can get the strings pulled.
