[quote=Anonymous] We bought quite a bit below what we were qualified for because we knew that houses have costs beyond the price you pay initially. We have owned our 60 year old house for 25 years now. We have put in about $250K over those 25 years (roof, HVAC, siding, driveway, gutters, bathroom renovations, appliances, flooring, basement, etc). There is always something. House is 2500 sq. ft. on a quarter acre lot. No additions. Just renovations, maintenance, updating, and hardscaping on the lot (and taking out trees, replanting trees, bushes, etc.). My dad told me to never buy a house because they are "money pits". However, most of us have to live somewhere and living anywhere has costs. [/quote]
