As a black man, I feel a little uncomfortable about possibly buying a home in the Woodlands. Is this an irrational fear?

This is 100% just my $.02 but I also wouldn’t buy a home there.

Honestly, as a Black woman, I wouldn’t want to live in Montgomery County at all.

I definitely don’t feel like you’re being irrational because there’s still a bit of a “good ol’ boy” (iykyk) vibe in a lot of areas out that way - including, though not as much, the Woodlands.

Thank you both. I’m still waging options but appreciate the input. My wife and I moved to Houston from California a few years ago and are enjoying our time. Many people I know back in CA were shocked when we decided to move to Texas and we have 0 regrets. PwC1, I’ll send you a DM. I’m also a former PwCer also 😊

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
