Rent first. I think it helps get a feel for where you like. Just cause people recommend places doesn’t mean you’ll like it

Rented for 1st 18 months until we got to know the city and neighborhoods better. Just bought our house and glad we waited to figure out where we wanted to be.

Rent

I wouldn’t buy at current interest rates unless you’re stoked on the house / neighborhood / community

Going to rent for 1-2 years and build up a fat down-payment while interest rates go down

To the single-income householders with a young family out there: how much are you realistically saving on a month-to-month basis?

I hear others talking about investments beyond that, 529 plans, etc. and I don’t have an idea of where to scrape any of that together. Am I crazy?

Also open to any advice from those who have been there before or know better on how best to allocate the funds we do have!

Hi there, I’d really love some advice from you all. In the last year I had to sell our home in Boulder, CO and embark on a new build process on a home in Tampa, FL. It turns out my dad can’t afford to live on his own so we found a home in FL that would have an in law suite. We locked in a rate but it expired and they are unwilling to extend due to the fact the builder is delayed and supply chain issues. Is there a smart way to structure loans now I’m unaware of? I’m super concerned.

Under contract for nearly 1.1M. Wife and I are at HHI $315k. Will go up in the future, $400k in 3 years and $500k possible in 5-7 years.

Anyone have any thoughts or feedback? We’ll have to live on a budget and watch but I feel we’ll get used to it and income will grow.

Car Tire gurus - Yokohama Avid Ascend GT vs LX. I live in CO so winter capability is important, but with a Subaru Outback the car already is well equipped.

Question is whether or not the GT is that much better in the snow that it is worth foregoing an extra 20,000 miles potential tread life with the LX.

I’m leaning LX, but welcome all thoughts!
