[quote=Anonymous]I was 30 and single when I bought a foreclosed row house in a not yet gentrifying part of NW DC in early 2004. To this day I am still amazed at my luck or foresight or whatever! I was self employed so under today's conditions wouldn't even get a mortgage. Paid $220k and have spent almost $100k in repairs and renovations over the years. My husband moved in in 2008 and we're now expecting our second child. (He was then 37 and had never owned a home). We could do with more space and are planning an addition. We recently refinanced and the house appraised for almost $600k. We were extremely lucky with timing. If I had waited until I got married I would never be able to afford to buy our house. We really appreciate the flexibility of having a relatively low housing payment. [/quote]
