Crazy! That, and there is a chance we may move back to LA in a few years. We hope to buy in a few years, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent/page/2#post-879259 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 10:01:45 +0000 MrsH 879259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent/page/2#post-879251 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 10:00:22 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 879251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We built a new house 2 years ago that we own :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-879245 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:58:59 +0000 plantains 879245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a place a few months ago. We are in our 30s too and this is our first place. Living in NYC makes it tough to own, but we felt like we had to do something to control our housing costs because rent has gone absolutely bananas. 2 bdrs in our building are currenly renting for $4-5K, no way we wanted to do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-879188 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:46:42 +0000 Mrsbells 879188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are currently renting and looking to buy a house in a couple of years </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-879184 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:46:15 +0000 rachiecakes 879184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we sold our house a few years ago and are currently renting. we thought we'd be happy moving to the country after city living but we were, oh so very wrong. we may rent forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-879183 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:46:09 +0000 chopsuey 879183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We own a condo and land (we're building a house).<br /> Currently we're renting though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-879181 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:44:35 +0000 Modern Daisy 879181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We own our apartment </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-879160 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:39:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 879160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rent-- and we are 32. But like @MrsCB: being in Boston doesn't make owning easy or that attractive before a certain point. We are still in the city now and considered buying a condo this year, but the market was just crazy, so we decided to rent a place that works perfectly for our family for the next 2-3 years, then re-evaluate where our next move will be. Mostly likely we will buy a house in a near suburb at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-879143 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:34:11 +0000 sotofamilia 879143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We own a townhouse and are hoping to upgrade to a larger home in a few years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-879139 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:32:37 +0000 lavender 879139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We own, and on Friday we close on our forever home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-879135 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:32:22 +0000 DillonLion 879135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a mortgage :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-879133 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:30:30 +0000 Caly 879133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-879087 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:15:28 +0000 illumina 879087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Renting. I really thought that at this point in our lives we would have bought by now, but it just hasn't worked out with needing to move location often. Now we can't get a mortgage because we run a company and haven't got 3yrs worth of accounts yet to prove to the bank we won't go bankrupt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-879072 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:11:33 +0000 ShootingStar 879072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought my townhouse when I was 32. Living in the Boston area doesn't make homeownership easy. I can't wait until we can buy a bigger house though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-878961 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 08:32:46 +0000 MrsF 878961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have never owned a home and are 30 &amp; 31. DH gets a stipend from his work for rent that we wouldn't be able to apply to a mortgage. Otherwise we would love to own. Good luck with your house hunt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-878912 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 08:13:27 +0000 mrsjyw 878912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We own... it doesn't make any sense to pay rent around these parts, as they are the same if not more than mortgages! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-878908 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 08:12:48 +0000 Alivoo01 878908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We own only because the monthly mortgage is the same as renting, if not cheaper depending on where you live. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-878852 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 07:46:58 +0000 sera_87 878852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rent.

We actually don't pay any rent since his employer pays for it per his contract. We hope to have a quite a substantial down payment once we decide on a permanent city. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-878761 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 07:15:19 +0000 hilsy85 878761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We rent our primary residence and own our secondary residence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-878759 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 07:14:52 +0000 Dandelion 878759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rent for another year, then we're going to buy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-878756 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 07:12:36 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 878756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-878749 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 07:08:50 +0000 Pepper 878749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-878707 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 06:48:27 +0000 heffalump 878707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We actually own two places. DH bought a townhouse before I met him, but when I got pregnant we wanted to move into something bigger. We would have lost money if we sold the house so we're just renting it out now until the market gets better and we can sell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/own-or-rent#post-878698 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 06:44:14 +0000 NavyRN2012 878698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We own our house back in Alabama and are currently renting it out. We rent our house in Florida. It would take a fabulous house that I never plan on leaving for me to own ever again. </p>
