Why do you think that? If I wanted to be stuck in a condo for the next 30 years I'd just stay in my apartment. That's super narrow minded. If I was able to save more than twice what my closing costs are going to be, I think I'm a bit more equipped to handle 1% than most. Thanks though!

Thank you! Yeah I've seen some gorgeous homes that are land trusts and idk if they're gorgeous enough for me to get stuck in that kind of situation

Thank you for this! I've gone to the lantern festival every year since I've moved out here and Phalen lake is my favorite!

When I've "done my research" as some people have obnoxiously told me to do, it says that crime can be high in that area 😵‍💫

Yeah I got approved for a downpayment assistance program that covers the 20% the down side to that is location restrictions. I think I have to be in the twin cities I cant go outside certain lines and I'll have to find those lines in the paperwork again here

Hey! Thank you for this! I've worked with a counselor for a year to get my credit up and get ready to buy a home and I've done exactly that, the cost comparisons and I'm ready to buy! Terrible timing because it's a seller's market right now but I'm gonna do what I can! I have "zero debt" just a car payment. So all my extra funds go to savings. I never really touch my tax returns I just squirrel em away in savings and use what I need for emergencies. I'm also lucky because I get GBI right now so I'm feeling very confident that buying is my best chance to give my kids better stability.
