If you buy condo you don’t need to do yard work or worry about leaky roofs but you have to pay condo fee. Ours is 300 a month which is on a very low end but still you have to have extra 300.
Now many people own houses that they can’t afford to keep nice: can’t repair or remodel or even furnish and decorate. So their houses eventually look like dumps. All that for just a fact of owning it (essentially bank owns not them).
I always felt that if I can’t keep it nice, I’ll rent and keep it nice.
Can you keep the nice house with what you make?
If not then why bother? If you absolutely want to own, maybe buy but a small condo. One bedroom. Maybe.
What’s the need for the house?
