[quote=Anonymous]I kick myself everyday for not allowing my aunt to loan me $10K to buy a condo in Shirlington for $93K in 2000.  She bought it and I paid her rent.  At 23 making less than $30K/year, $10K sounded like a LOT to pay back.  Boy, was I dumb.  She sold it 3 years later for $215K - damn, that could have been a NICE downpayment on a lovely home at 2003 prices.  Oh, well - I'm still glad we bought our small TH in 2003 and were able to sell for a profit.

I also miss our $1500/month mortgage payment.  Had I known what this past year would have brought us, we should have stayed put in our TH, pocketed the almost $900 extra we are paying in mortgage now per month and moved ourselves into an area that would have been closer to both our current jobs.  My husband now has almost an hour commute when his commute from our TH to his previous job was 15-20 minutes.

Oh, well, I also don't know that we could find a neighborhood that has all the amenities we love about our current one closer to both of our jobs (mine in in South Fairfax, his is in Stafford County).[/quote]
