04/20/2017 at 17:18, STARS: 0
3% down, full deck, fenced backyard. No garage. Probably not much more sq/ft that your condo. I like it here in the DC/metro area. Great for kids. The fed gov’t keeps things pretty stable. I admit that I don’t know if I will stay after my kids are grown.
Not to make it too serious, but as a black male there are just not that many places I felt comfortable raising a family. As a result, the list of places to live is really short.
We have a lot of hook ups in Cuba. Hoping to get down there to retire.

Congrats, looks like a solid find. Gotta love the housing prices in KS and MO. It wasn’t too long ago that I was rocking a 2 bed / 1.5 bath / 1 car garage townhome rental for $750/mo near the eastern edge of the KC metro. Now I’ve got a similar mortgage payment on a house that’s a full step above that in size, location, and neighborhood quality.

Nice, that’d be a $1k a month apartment here in the northeast. CL is great for furniture...Just got a pub height table/chairs the other day in excellent condition for $80. TV’s too sometimes...but that’s hit or miss as people tend to overvalue that stuff. If you have a Habitat for Humanity store local I highly recommend it. I got a really nice office chair and a nightstand for $19 there last week.
Check with friends and family, it’s another way to get nice furniture on the cheap. My friends workmate just sold me a name brand couch, loveseat and ottoman for $500 that she paid $3k for. 5 years old, was stored for 3. I rarely buy new unless I’m looking for something specific.
