I was 22 but it was a small and cheaper place, that I also got with "assistance"
a better, bigger place that could be considered apt for a family, I got it around age 26
if we're talking about a "dream house" at a "dream location" and all that, I've got nothing like that yet, that will have to wait till later, maybe when I am married and planning for a family, and then... it would have to be a decision and purchase from two people involved, like you and your husband
I bought a condo when I was 30 and sold it a few years later. I didn't get married until I was 42 and my wife and I finally moved to a different part of the state 4 years later. We bought 30 beautiful acres of bare land in a rural area and moved into our very first home when I was 48. We been here now for over 19 years and absolutely love it.
I was actually really hesitant to buy a house at first because I don't know the first thing about fixing anything. We rented for a while, but I mostly just focused on getting my credit score over 800 and then bought the house we are in now which has now double in equity, back in my mid 30s.
I was about 15 years old, and I bought 1/3 of a house. It was a rental property that my dad and brother arranged. I never even saw the house until years later when we had to do an eviction. People think that landlords are rich, but don't believe that for a second.
Yes, it is young. My Dad was a real estate agent, and just wanted to teach my brother and I to invest. A bunch of us also bought up a city block of shit-hole houses. That block was destined to be zoned as commercial property, so that was the angle. Once the city zoned it commercial property, the taxes go through the roof, and you just sell it quickly. Some developer bought it and bulldozed the entire block. Now it's all office buildings.
I was 31. I loved my house but not my husband (he was high on pot morning, noon, and night). He was a chemicalized husband. We got divorced and he kept the house - even though I worked to help pay for it for 4 years.
I was 24 when I bought my 1st real estate property. It's not a house. It's the small multi-unit apartment building I used to rent in when I was in college.
i was forty... i paid cash for it. most people answering this won't have actually bought a house but just signed up to a lifetime of debt. its only 'bought' when its paid for
Mostly cause I'm not willing to settle down in one place. I love being able to move every 2 or 3 years and buying a house just doesn't work out with that type of lifestyle
@PoliteSpeaker? No. Lol. My family has a house in a small town, and land in the south. I was not raised in the city. I've been surrounded by "country" and farm land which is why city life interests me. I like modern loft apartments/ condos 😊
Nothing wrong with that. Anybody can buy a house man. If you don't believe me, remember what I have said and after you buy a house ask yourself was that guy on GAG right? And you'll say... Yeah he was spot on. The issue is people never even try because they think they can't. Not knowing how is not a reasoning to not make a decision to buy a house. I don't know how to play that video game but guess what I played it anyway and now I know how to play...
