He paid 138K for it and it appraises for over 210K now! Real estate is insane!

Great deal!!! Real estate is the best investment. I have yet to see property values decrease in NYC.

My dad says I 'stole' my coop. It was a foreclosure that I had renovated & it's worth over 5 times what I paid for it in 1997.

We are currently house hunting here in LA but really discussing moving. Starting houses are over 650,000 and even with both our incomes, and the down payment when I sell my condo that is still heavy payments. I would love to be a stay at home mom but not at those prices.
Even with with smaller mortgage right now, I am still struggling hence the DIY centerpieces and no pro video. Other than my band, I really didn't splurge at all on the wedding. But owning your own home is worth it, believe me. Knowing I have a lot of equity to fall back on makes me feel so secure.

We do own a home in PA. But it is a vacation rental. We are not selling that b/c it will give us profit in the future. So now on top of that mortgage we willhave another one.
