[quote=Anonymous]Bought 3/20 390k.
Needed new hot water heater and HVAC within first 3 months $10k
Had leaking bathtub in 2nd floor bath, multiple repairs $1k total 
Painted the 6/9 rooms in house $5-7k, they didnt use a bathroom primer in the 1st floor nor 2/enough coats in the 2nd floor bath or in the main living space so we have to redo both
Dishwasher failed repair then replacement $1500k
Fridge had problems, did 2 repairs to try to hold on to it, then replaced $3500k total
Kitchen pipe leak under the sink, needed to replace all piping to stack $1500 
Toilet rocking and we are on a slab so it needed to be re-drilled into the slab? $500?

=24-25k minimum for 3 years of ownership. 8-10k per year is what we now plan for in our budget.

We do the drywall and repairs so that saves us money but on our to-do list within the next year is:

- bathtub resealed
- attic insulation added 
- new door and framing
-new garage door
-new shed (unlikely getting done but itll just get moved to the following year)
- repave the driveway

Its worth 500-600k now but Im not entirely sold on home ownership to be frank
