[quote=Anonymous]I bought my first place (in 1999) for $97,000 (2 story, 2 BR 1.5 ba Condo) in Olney. I made less than $35K a year and was a single mom and saved the $3K down payment (3% FHA) on my own. No help from my parents. I eventually sold that and bought a house (using the proceeds and again, no help). When I met my husband, we both sold our houses (he had a townhouse in Germantown) and bought a place together with the money (we put about $350K down on a $950K house). All with no help from either of our folks. We paid for our own wedding as well. [/quote]
