Anyone ever bought two adjoining townhouses and knocked down some of the non-load bearing walls between them to combine them into one bigger home? Ones you own of course, not rent, and assuming local town and HOA rules allow for it. Thank you!

No, but assuming the you are allowed to do so my concerns would be the cost of moving the wires/pipes in those walls and also the potential for an awkward layout unless you rework almost everything.

Why not just buy a house in a non-townhome community?

Because I’m engaging in a hypothetical discussion about this one possible scenario…

Townhome HOA very often have stringent rules, even specific ones that say you cannot do exactly that.

Most of the time they're constructed with a fire wall in between (at least where I am) which means cinder block, not just wood & drywall. That'd be a huge pain and I would imagine resale would be difficult in the future. If one townhouse is too small I'd look elsewhere.

My in-laws did this in a high-rise condo. They ended up with a beautiful unit with windows on 3 sides of the building.

Following because I was thinking of doing this 😂

I would not do on a townhome. Condo in the city/beach is different. Townhomes would be difficult to merge the plat on and could violate your mortgage agreement.

I like the Apple Card and considering opening one but want to see if there are better alternatives. It’s enticing that if I lose my card, I can instantly change the number so someone can’t use it. Plus no numbers means someone can’t randomly make a large fraudulent purchase.

$530k HHI, $250k cash on hand, $1.2M investments/retirement. Plan to buy $800-900k house as our first home, but thinking of the best approach given rates today. My thinking is that we (i) put $200k+ down and get a 5/1 ARM. (ii) put everything we save moving forward toward paying down the principal (after maximizing retirement accounts). Should be able to do $100k per year. (iii) If rates go down below 4.5ish % for 15 year fixed, refinance and stop aggressive payment. Thoughts on this approach?
