[quote=Anonymous]There is this feeling that single women do not need or deserve to have a SFH home. Or that by buying a home a man is unlikely to come around. All of this is kind of nutty (in most places in the US, apartment living is not the norm) and born of some greater misogyny. Do not buy a SFH you cannot afford. Banish the word bling from your vocabulary. Save up for a down payment. Get a boring fixed rate traditional mortgage. Budget - and when you are budgeting and in lawn car and a couple grand a year for repairs. Many cosmetic repairs slowly over time. If you get married you don't need a prenup - the house is premarital property - just don't put his name on it or commingle assets. If you sell it, money goes into a separate fund that doesn't get commingled with marital money. But, you can hold on to it or rent it, too. [/quote]
