What would you do?
DH and I have a townhouse now. 2 bedrooms. More than enough room for us right now...but once we have a child I think it will start to get small for us.
There is a brand new construction going to be ready in late spring. It's a 2 family. 1 or 2 bedroom apt. Main house has 4 bedrooms, masterbath (with shower - no tub). Attic storage. I could keep 1 room in the basement or give the apt another bedroom (making it a 2 bedroom). We are hoping to rent it to a family member so that's why we were thinking just giving it to the apt - to make it more 'liveable'.
Now - buying this house will exhaust all of our savings. It's significantly more $ than what we are paying now - but will have $ left over. In new construction there is no window treatment, no fence, lots of odds and ends so I doubt we'll be saving any $ to put in the bank for a while!!
Our fear is that we could do it now or we could wait till we have a little more saved..but then the prices will be more.
