Just figured out there are townhouses in my area that sell for much less than $200K. I might actually be able to afford my own houseif I save up for a big down payment, I didn't think I'd see that possibility until I was in my late 20s or possibly ever.
Only thing is property taxes in PG county are horrible and I'm not sure if I want this to be the job I'm stuck in for 15 to 30 years trying to pay off a mortgage with.
Still exciting to see that a house is within my reach and with the right job and pay it might be worth it. I thought I'd have to settle for an apartment in some other city that I've never been to in my life.
