Heather and I were talking last night how we missed living in the apartments, not having to worry about mowing, painting, siding, landscaping, etc. I wouldn't mind living in an apartment and having a shop. Congrats though Scott, buying a house is exciting. Especially after waiting forever.  |

Congrats on the house purchase, we are going through the same process at the moment too. We have rented the house for 6 yrs and made it our own. The landlord approched us the other day and we both asked the same question lol. Hope it all goes well for you | |

I went from owning my house in Calif. to an apartment in Missouri. Hated having "neighbors" above me, having the parking lot view, hated not having a shop or garage, hated not being able to hang a flag or paint a wall whatever or whenever I wanted, just plain hated it!  I was so happy when we bought our house last summer. But now I have to go mow the grass and it's hot and humid outside.  |

You can pick "better" apartments. I'm on the sunny side and upstairs, have a garage and basement and pay a tad above $500.

i was always loving the idea of renting. if it broke i made a phone call and went to bed. if i didn't want to mow a lawn i called. for us, it meant going from a 3 bedroom duplex, where we had a neighbor... to a four bedroom colonial with 3 baths, and a garage all sitting on an acre of land for only 150 more dollars a month. we purchased the house from her parents too so it came loaded, complete with riding mower. i'll take it. |

I have to say that I do miss owning a home. Hopefully things will turn around and we'll be able to purchase again in about 3 years. Congrats Scott! |
