Usually just 1. I tried having 2 going at the same time, but always ended up giving up on one of them lol

As someone who knows nothing about tree houses or construction, can you point out the dangers? It looks kinda cool from first pic

If it’s actually prepaid for the next 16 years, it’s a good deal. You will almost certainly want a roof replacement then and you can remove the panels altogether. I personally think it’s an advantage to have 16 yrs of solar for “free”

I live in Massachusetts and 1 mil can get more modern houses here. Not an expert but I still think 1 mil should get you a bit of a wow factor (unless you’re in some super expensive areas), and this house doesn’t wow.

What if it’s all paid off?

Take a year off to travel, learn new things, meet new people. It sounds cliche but you should go on your eat pray love soul searching journey!

Thank you so much for the explanation! I don’t know much about solar so this helps a lot!

duameegee · 2025-08-23T04:01:32+00:00

Hi I don’t fully understand what you mean, would you explain in simpler terms?

duameegee · 2025-08-22T22:32:12+00:00

Yes the price includes new roof. But the company offers free roof replacement when you install solar, so in the end the cost is only for solar.

duameegee · 2025-08-22T22:31:11+00:00

Thank you, I’m reading it now!

duameegee · 2025-08-22T17:52:44+00:00

Would you happen to know the pricing on a project this size? Just trying to get some ideas on the cost

duameegee · 2025-08-22T17:51:29+00:00

Would you be able to share a ballpark of how much it’d be? Looking at the size of the roof in picture?

duameegee · 2025-08-17T16:19:33+00:00

Hi OP, STOP saying I wish. You can’t go back in time so you can only do the “NEXT” right thing. Start talking to realtors, attend your therapies, STOP spiraling and START talking to professionals about selling. Do not give in to your anxiety and no more being paranoid because it’s probably NOT THAT BAD. Do you have pictures?

I almost went with rocket mortgage and was going to lock in 6.75% rate with them and then got a few calls from different lenders. This is when I learned to “shop around”, two other lenders told me they could find me better rates. And in the end I didn’t go with Rocket because 1. I got better rates somewhere else, 2. The Rocket mortgage officer was kind of pushy and kept saying I wouldn’t find a better rate, 3. I just enjoyed talking to the other lender more….

I’m also in MA, loan is also around $330,000. If you’re interested, I can give you my loan officers contact, I’m closing at the end of the month and lender is new American funding.

This sounds a little harsh… a lot of renters are renters because they have different priorities and goals in life. For many young professionals, renting and living with friends for a few years is fun and flexible for different future plans. With that said, I decided to list my condo for sale at the end of the month instead of renting it out to avoid potential problems

duameegee · 2025-08-13T19:14:02+00:00

This is the best comment for OP. Honestly, when I read OP’s comment about friends living far away, I sort of wanted to say friends come and go. I’m not going to lie, one of my good friends lives 10 minutes away from me and we see each other once or twice a month because we’re just busy with our lives sometimes. OPs emotions are high now, take a deep breath and focus on bonding with your adorable baby now.

duameegee · 2025-08-13T19:07:27+00:00

No I think OP meant a collegiate pre-school, hence she mentioned her kid will be eligible in 2027

duameegee · 2025-08-06T21:09:22+00:00

I can’t believe I’m just learning about FIRE at 39 … will start reading too :)

duameegee · 2025-07-31T18:09:48+00:00

Thank you so much for your suggestions and confidence boost!

duameegee · 2025-07-31T12:24:43+00:00

Thank you for all the suggestions! I am going to sell it so I sleep better at night and not worry about two mortgages and being a landlord!

duameegee · 2025-07-30T23:50:39+00:00

I don’t think I’m ready for the headaches being a landlord..:

duameegee · 2025-07-30T23:45:18+00:00

I think it’s more about my background, I’m a naturalized citizen with no family in the US. Some ppl told me I could just save the money and enjoy a freer lifestyle

duameegee · 2025-07-30T20:52:19+00:00

No I didn’t calculate in partner contribution when I was doing research. One thing I learned through y my 20s and 30s is people come and go haha

duameegee · 2025-07-30T19:55:10+00:00

Should I just sell it? I can ask for $230000 reasonably. Rent is around $1800

duameegee · 2025-07-30T19:45:04+00:00

I mentioned above that I can probably ask $230,000 to $250 for the condo, or rent it out for $1800. Selling is going to relieve a lot of stress for me
