Mortgage, property taxes, interior decorations, lawn maintenance, bugs, fixing things that break, general home upkeep.....

That has to add up to atleast 3-4 times MORE than the cost of renting a place and letting the landlord deal with all that.

ill give it to you like this. last year i rented a 2/2 in bradenton for $985/month a month. im currently renting a 4/2.5 now for $1000/month. the housing market where im at is finally dropping like its hot and now i can get a morgage for around $500-600 each month of which goes toward me owing my own home and not someone else paying off their boat.

to the op.....congrats!!! hopefully i will have a house this year! my lease is up in sept.
