    I’m not. I had that mortgage 20 years ago. Wish I still had it. I was financially 10 times better off than I am now. But it also came with a shitty wife. That’s way worse than a shitty house believe me.

      My main goal was to find something cheap enough to live on my own. Its an OK house in a crappy area.

      I lucked out but still had to spend a lot to fix it up or the bank wouldn’t bother with such a cheap loan.

        I’d rather an ok house in a crappy area than paying rent any day. And I’m 100% for a little sweat equity in your house. Plus making a house better is always a good thing.
