What kind of house do you live in?

[Aspect59]

Apartment or detached house? I have been living in an apartment for many years. But I am tired of living like this. My goal is to buy a detached house with a garden within 1 year and live like that for the rest of my life.

Apartment

Detached house

My wife and I own a 1600 sq ft, single story, 3 bedroom, 2 bath house on 30 acres. We have large, covered decks in the front and back and we have an amazing view.
I like our large master bedroom and master bath. Our living space has an open, airy floor plan and there are 8' wide French doors in the dining area that open to the back deck.
There is a 4/10 mile long, gravel driveway that winds its way up the hill to our house. We have a detached, 2 1/2 car, two story, steel garage, a grid-tied solar voltaic system, a propane tank, our own well and large water tank, and a great septic system.
We love our small orchard of assorted fruit trees and we grow lots of herbs and veggies.
We have nearby neighbors but they can't see our house on hill through the trees.
We love it.

[Aspect59]

OMG 🧐 This is a wonderful house. How many people do you live with in this house?

[Lliam]

@Aspect59. Just my wife and I. We turned the largest spare bedroom into an office and the other spare bedroom is for guests.

[Aspect59]

I understand. What is your job?

[Lliam]

@Aspect59. I'm retired. I was a motor vehicle damage field adjuster/appraiser and retired after 30 years with the same insurance company. My wife is a hair stylist, make up artist, and professional photographer. She still works part time as a hair stylist.

[Aspect59]

You have invested the money you earned very well. Which city do you live in?

[Lliam]

I put 10% of my salary into the company's 401(k) and they match 6% of that.

I live in a rural area in northern California.

[Finchie40]

I have a 4 bedroom 2 bath ranch style home with a little over an acre of land and woods and most importantly , Privacy , I don’t have any neighbors right up on my ass , which is 1 of the reasons I bought this home cuz neighbors can suck big time. I love my home but it’s becoming too much for me to upkeep cuz I am getting older , I eventually will sell this house and downsize once my kids’ are on their own 2 feet

[Aspect59]

This house in the forest, how far is it from the city or town? Do you have a car? How is the heating in the house? I think you use wood and coal for heating, and an electric or gas system for cooking. I don't think there will be natural gas there.

[Finchie40]

I have natural gas and electric no I am not in a forest lol I just have woods around me and a nice stretch of land , I am pretty close to everything so convenience isn’t a problem , I am about 20 minutes from the city

[Aspect59]

Very nice

[Nikki1989]

2-story, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, home theater room, a padded rehearsal room, home gym, indoor and outdoor hot-tubs.

[Aspect59]

OMG 🧐 Is your house like this?

[Nikki1989]

Yes, that is our house. Took almost a year to find it.

[Aspect59]

How many people live in your house?

[MemeSupreme]

detached and i don't miss living in an apartment lol

people are loud

[Aspect59]

Yeah you are right. I will be living in a detached house very soon.

[Purpleronnie]

I live in a detached house , 6 bed , 2 bathroom , 1 WC and a ahower room. I also extended to create a kitchen / diner / social space so I had the room to entertain. The one room I had downstairs I converted to an office.


Not one to be wasting money Socialising so made sense to invest in my house so I had the flexibility to work and live there.

[Aspect59]

Very nice. How is the view from your house? What is your profession?

[Purpleronnie]

I overlook a park on the front with other houses to the rear ( south facing ) a little overlooked but. I am an I. T Consultant. Been thinking I wanna sell up and move out to the country but waiting till the economic climate changes a little

[Aspect59]

I understand. Good luck

[midnightmoon05]

Detached ranch. 3 bedrooms. 2-3000 square feet. On a 3 acres.

[Aspect59]

Oh what is your job?

[midnightmoon05]

I am a school teacher. I started young. This is my second property.
You are 24 👍😊, you can listen to Dave Ramsey … he can explain more.

[Aspect59]

I'm actually surprised that the money you earned was enough to buy a house like this. Have you ever taken a loan from a bank? or borrowed money from anywhere?

[Dargil]

'60's brick 1,500 ranch, half acre lot, racially mixed neighborhood. No pretense except I own it outright.

[Dargil]

My 2 cars are 21 and 28 years old.

[Dargil]

Both are gas guzzling Global Warming causing V8's. I'm making plant food.

[Aspect59]

Your cars are old. Are you thinking of renewing them?

[Dargil]

One is a collectable classic. The other should be downsized.

[Aspect59]

Okay

[douride2]

I have a small house just over 900 sq ft on about 3 acres of land way out in the boonies.

[Goahead76]

3 story 4700 sq/ft 3 car garage in a rural small town which is the only way you can afford anything in this market.

[LiamJHayden]

Detached house that is far too big for me, but it was inherited and is grandfathered in for tax assessment purposes so I am better off here than downsizing and paying a lot more in taxes.

[Aspect59]

So the house you live in is an apartment, right? But you don't live in the big house you inherited.

[andreasderjuengere]

Semi detached single storey madhouse in the native midclass style.

[Aspect59]

Madhouse lol? Why do you say that?

[andreasderjuengere]

Because in Thailand nothing is ''normal'' :D
I live off local social expectations, and I keep myself ''locked away'' from those who do.

[Aspect59]

I understand

[Eros91]

Split level house, the stair are on the outside not the inside.

[FreyaRed]

216 m² detached house with 1876 m² plot

[Aspect59]

How do you evaluate the remaining part of the land?

[FreyaRed]

Evaluate? 2000m² isn't that much as it sounds it's 40x50m rectangle

[itsannalee]

I live in condo, in the 30th floor

[Aspect59]

How many floors does the apartment you live in have?

[itsannalee]

37, top building is swimming pool.

[Aspect59]

I guess you're swimming on clouds lol. You literally live in a skyscraper, right? What is your job?

[Goahead76]

30th floor wow. I lived on the top 5th floor of a building once and thought that was high up.

[exitseven]

[NicholasRedone]

What house? 🏠 👀 🧐

[Aspect59]

What do you mean?

[dreamstar72]

Buy a detached house without a hoa.

[Aspect59]

What is hoa?

[dreamstar72]

Hoa is a “homeowners association” which means living by their rules some good but mostly bad

[Aspect59]

Hmm ok

[Uglygaypoorcoward94]

2 story

[Aspect59]

Is it an apartment or a detached house? Because there are 2-storey houses located in an apartment building. For example, my house is a duplex and located in an apartment building.

[Anonymous]
