man..one thing i hate is condo fees..they're more than home association fees.

brings back what i said about single incomes. unless of course you're breaking 100k and single. Then you can do it...like lets say mr. business lawyer vic over there. loool

price would def. be a factor... interest rates are what? 7% right now? I remember about 15 years ago interest rates were 13% but then again the price of houses have tripled or more.

Dont think I can make the HH on Thursday. i'll be up in New York for work. If you want, we can discuss the next time we get together. I gotta prioritize what I want to do. Get a place now with these interest rates (I know the housing market is declining. Everything was way overpriced) or wait until I'm married and get a house together at the time and save up as much as I can on a downpayment now. Hard to decide.
