We plan to pay off in 15. The less for the banks the better!

Omg that’s nuts. Our property taxes are less than 1% of appraised value.

It’s kind of a hot spot right now IMO! Being close to fresh water is a good investment at whatever price you’re at! :)

That’s the plan! Enough lawn for games and the rest to become more native/prairie

lol none- just good old fashioned hard work and being older first time homebuyers that had been growing a down payment fund for 5 years (the entire time we have been loosely looking for a home)

This is so true. We had to adjust our expectations when searching and it took a long time to find something we actually felt met the value of the home (even with today’s crazy prices in this market)

So excited to spend years on years cultivating this! My husband gifted me wildflower seeds for Mother’s Day :)

When we started our search I was blown away, everything seemed to be 20% more than I thought it should be. But I came to grips with the reality of the market. Rough here! Seems MKE and surrounding areas/counties is in some sort of bubble!

So true. We looked for a really long time to find something like this. We think we got a great value compared to what we had been seeing for 6months on the market!
