My wife has begun questioning buying a house. Now she's not sure she wants the responsibility and liability of owning a home, she's asked me to consider buying a condo instead. Anyone live in a condo that can give me their impression of such a move?

Alright, but could I trouble you for some elaboration?


EDIT : I still want a house, partially for privacy and partially because dammit, I've always wanted to own property, but I do realize I need a logical argument.

I had my place bestowed upon me and went crazy adding the maintenance factor I fore mentioned... Thinking of getting out of it property tax is killing me and its just too big

edit: made it an income property, thinking about doing the basement over and get another renter downstairs but then where would I put my truck?

Being 100% honest, just from the views you've given, I'm pretty sure that's out of my range, too.


Here's a nice quote I heard : "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." - Voltaire


It's a double edit! Woooo! : If you've ever been interested in trying out android apps on your PC, a program called BlueStacks handles that really well.

As long as we are being honest yeah I'm in way over my head.., trying to get the most out of it, got my girl myself and a close friend in thre thinking of doing the basement for another renter or two but I dono if I want to make that move I would need to blow the end of the driveway out it barley fits five cars without leaving the keys in them

i was lucky how it all unfolded its my family house, dad left when I was young.. My mom just wanted out of the tax and memories so I'm paying her mortgage at her place and the property on this one till I can figure my life out.. It's hard tho for sure can barely remember the last time I went out and for good reason I'm only 24 too got a lot on my plate

I get that, but hopefully you also realize how lucky you are to have something worth working for. To buy a house, even a cheap one (if there is such a thing) is going to take years of saving and that's just to have enough capital to convince one of these thieving banks that I'm worth the mortgage. Sometimes it doesn't seem worth the effort, but I want it. I've wanted to own my own place since I was 16 years old, but after my first step-dad died and my mom paid off the house, she re-married, and against what she said she wanted the new guy cut us all out of any chance of ever getting the house she wanted left to us. So I mean, I understand how hard it can be...but just think how much your current sacrifice can pay off in the future.

But that's just my view, if it's not you then it's just not you man. Gotta do what's right for you and yours.


EDIT : And if I was around you, I'd totally hook you up with a night out. Sometimes a night out can give you some interesting insights.

Move mom into a smaller place, or remarry her.....:-o
If that's to me yeah we got her on the water in a very historical town just like she always wanted... I pay the mortgage on her new house. The one I'm in is payed off just property tax to pay plus utilities which I pay. It's mutually beneficial waiting for the housing market to bounce back then ill consider gettin out of it... The house next store just went for under a mil, which shouldn't be the case, I can fit my house in theirs and thy have two more acres than I do... Guess they didn't like the neighbors hahaha

I hate ...

Snow,
Winter,
Plowing,
Operating a Skid Steer,
The local police that knocked on my door 2 days ago, at 3:48 AM, and wouldn't fuck off until I opened the door and told them to fuck off.
The same local police that beat one of my neighbors so badly that I had to step over the blood that covered the landing, the stairs out of my apartment building, and trailed all the way to where they put him in the squad car.
That asshole that thought his little Suburban had right of way while I was operating my skid (if your Suburban was so fuckin' bad ass, why'd it get stuck in that little pile of snow I dropped in front of you? Dick.)

And, that is all. Time to "wake and bake" even though I've been going since like 3:00 AM. Yayy me, back to work in 5 hours.

I also hate snow, winter, plowing, and most of the local police. I try to maintain respect for the idea of police, but too many of these jackholes joined up for a job, gun, and a sense of a little power. Also, I hate math (don't judge me, I took geometry and algebra 2 in the same year and passed them both with B's.).

And know-it-alls...I really fucking hate a know-it-all...and thieves, liars and cheats.

Good luck Minne, and here's hoping your next time out is better.

Less than a week ago, I was wearing shorts, and prepping our summer asphalt equipment, and getting the small engines and diesels de-winterized. I was wearing shorts...

That cop thing... Yeah, I don't even like the idea of cops. I really dislike the cops around here. Seriously, they beat the dude so bad there were POOLS of blood, there was blood on the walls, there was a full trail to the squad car. They knocked on everyone's door, when they said they'd kick mine in, I opened it and asked 'em what the fuck they were waking me up for at 3:30 in the morning? They wouldn't actually tell me, just started asking if I knew certain neighbors. I told 'em to piss off because I had to work in a few hours, they said bullshit, I said Fuck you, cunts. And slammed the door. Then I filed a dozen different complaints, started organizing a renters union, and set up counter-security cameras, and security systems for myself and any neighbors that ask, as long as they pay for their own equipment. I also contacted the ACLU about a 95% African American building being shaken down at 3:30 in the morning, and the "white guy" living there telling the cops to fuck off and getting away with it. (the cops re-knocked on the neighbor's doors when I told 'em to fuck off.)

I have a Guinness, a 2.5 gram joint of 1 week cured X Cheese (harsh, but it does taste good, and it's top-shelf. I grow great fuckin' weed!) My beautiful boss lady is preparing me an amazing dinner, and the boss just texted to say I won't have to go back in, unless it drops a shit ton of snow again. All in all, my day's gotten much better.

You are an industrious mofo. We don't have problems with cops beating people around here, just being jackholes and fucking with those ignorant of their rights. My grandpa was a cop, and I know he's a good man, so I try to respect the idea of police, there just have to be a few that got into it because they actually wanted to help people.

I'm glad your day's gotten better, and here's to hoping for no more fucking snow, evil shit that it is. I'm fine with wet, and I'm fine with cold...put that shit together and I'm miserable.

You set out a bunch of those cameras high enough so the PIGS can't reach them and catch them and fry their asses, get a lawyer!

Even with the brain damage, I'm still pretty damn smart. I use open cameras. and hidden cameras. Because of the open cameras, the hidden cameras are OK. (Ask the police about that one, that's how they got my threat on tape. I can even use the same case law to justify the cameras.) I record locally, a couple cameras on my computer, and a laptop. I also save the video to an offsite server. So, if they jack my computer up, it's on camera. My neighborhood is not great, so I set it up in case someone comes in. Now it helps with the popo too.

At this point, I want to be a gnat, I don't want a lawyer, not yet. They make me play nice. Right now, I can start shit with them, and then turn around and anonymously claim race discrimination because the "white guy" got away with whatever... I can cause chaos among their ranks (I get those fabled cards, when I do things like pull 'em outta ditches when it snows -- and then give those same cards to my neighbors.) I can also hit them on multiple fronts. Lawyers restrict you to following proper procedure. Can't hit them from 10 directions for one thing...

Well I just finished giving one of the kittens a bath, he fell over in the litter box right into a fresh uncovered pile. It was matted into his fur pretty good and he took a dump in the bathtub too... so I had an extra super happy fun time.

I was once told I had a hyper-defined sense of right and wrong, and saw right and wrong as very black and white...

Like it's a bad thing...

How weird is that?
