26. But it wasn’t $1 million at the time it was $510K. It’s worth $1.2M but it’s honestly stupidly ridiculous for it to be valued that much because this place is old and falling apart. Don’t let the price tag of the home make you think that it’s a good place to live or that it is a sign of success.

Buy what you can if that’s what you want, home ownership is not for everyone and I have lots regrets. And real estate will appreciate in some areas much faster than others.

33, 1.25 house, ~500 HHI

I was at $200 as a manager TC. Wife is in real estate at 300 TC (200 base and 100 bonus). House was a bit of a stretch for us at the time but we were reasonably confident of promos / bonus that occurred and made it less tight in terms of monthly cash outflow

34 and 39, 1.2, HHI 575

I have significant equity in a property (300k+) and maybe another 200k across other properties. I have a decent amount of money in cash and already 200k or so in stocks.

Scores consider the number of accounts that are paid as agreed. Your score was impacted because the number of these accounts is too low, or because you've missed payments recently on some of your accounts.
