We signed our lease starting in June. Our property company called me this morning and said that our landlord is offering us a pretty good deal on this house, if we want to buy it. He's even crediting any rent we've already paid towards the cost of the house. It would lower our monthly housing cost, and there's a few other pluses for considering it.

ETA: Our landlord is not considering selling otherwise, until our lease is up. So, we're the only ones getting this offer.

The only thing is that my DH's company might be moving in about 2-3 years. They'll move more north than they already are. Right now, DH's commute is about 25-30 minutes, and from here, when they move, it'll increase to at least 45 minutes. We had already said that when we move, we'd go more north, so that to be ahead of the game for when they move. But, we don't even know when they plan on moving. They opened up a warehouse in another state, so they're holding off moving until they get that building up and running smoothly. There's no exact timeline for when they're going to move. My guess is that'll be over 2 years.

So, is it worth it, or smart, to buy a starter home for only 2 years? Some positives would be that we'd have equity and we'd save money by having our own mortgage, rather than paying rental rates. Also, not moving DS for a few years would be grand, too. But, we'd have to move him eventually.

What do you think? Any experiences?
