Date: May 9th, 2024 1:02 PM Author: pea-brained exhilarant roommate We've looked into it. Assuming you're financed and bought pre-2021, in order to meaningfully upgrade your house you probably need to at least TRIPLE your monthly payments - probably quadruple....

Date: May 9th, 2024 1:06 PM Author: histrionic cruise ship skinny woman we gave up a 2.125% to buy a house worth 2.5x as much but paid cash. financing it would have made no sense (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5526832&forum_id=2#47648238) |

Date: May 9th, 2024 1:16 PM Author: histrionic cruise ship skinny woman lol no. the only reason we got the house is bc we were all cash. place went pending 1 day after listing and they got a ton of offers, including several all cash.

Date: May 9th, 2024 1:46 PM Author: Sapphire messiness We bought a new house in 2023. Got it done by having two mortgages for awhile. Paid a down payment and all closing costs while paying reno costs on the old house. Paid for the move. Moved. Finally got the old house on the market. It was one nightmare after another. House sold. Then we went to closing. By that time I was so exhuasted and up to my eyeballs in debt. Got the wire. Now our new mortgage (at 6.5%) is paid down and we have just 17 years remaining on the loan. Maybe we can refinance one day, maybe not. Honestly the cash flow problems kind of worked themselves out once we got the other house sold and it's 2.75% mortgage paid off. I do pay more in interest now, at 6.5%, but it's a better house and we are happier.

Date: May 9th, 2024 1:54 PM Author: Sapphire messiness I ran out of money to be honest. We are pretty poor as a family and I have a hard and fast rule about not having more than 10% of our net worth tied up in my primary home (which is the only real estate that we own). I hate real estate and I just think it's a huge anchor around your neck once you dip your toe in. |
