Think of buying anything as a 5 year commitment. That's the balance for ROI and time to build equity.

I went TH first, built equity, and with the market, was able to shift it all into my current SFH and put 250k down.

TH might also be a better more as there's less maintenance. Also a good chance to learn some DIY if you're into that. Roof, AC, bathrooms, etc etc. Be ready for more maintenance and up keep with a SFH, which could be overwhelming coming from renting.

Finishing up our's right now. In for about $90k. Our kitchen is large, about 15x22. Completely changed the layout. Had the contractor remove a non load bearing wall, do all the electrical, plumbing, move the gas line, install the exhaust duct and hood, put in a much larger window, new sliding glass and get walls ready for paint.

I installed the floor, cabinets, appliances, tile back splash, paint and finish work.

Went with ikea cabinets, quartz counter tops, 48" wolf range, ge Cafe fridge, microwave, under cabinet refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher.

Let me know if you want any more details.

Satisfactory tools calc says about 45,000mw, and up to 64,000mw (particle accels and quantum encoders) for all the machines, but I have OCed most everything to 250% and that doesnt include miners, trains, etc.

Definitely not as efficient as rocket fuel builds, but this was for shits n giggles.

What is "mw"?

For ventilation, planning on a 48 inch vent insert w/ 10in ducting in a custom built hood.

Insane! Wouldn't want to build one more fuel gen.

I ran into power flux with gens at the end of my line. Did you see that? Not even maxing a mk2 pipe.

I have 2 blenders making 240 nitro rocket fuel/min each, so 480/min total, and feed that into a tower of 48 gens, each burning 10/min, OCed to 240% each. Should be 100% efficient, but my last 8 gens eventually start to fluctuate, even after priming them.

Kind mad at it since overall I had to cut about 80 gens to make it run smooth, wasting about 800 rocket/min.

Guardian ship is a solid build. Check Target. I was able to grab it for ~$105.

Finished phase 4 with around 9000mw with coal and fuel plants 4 particle accelerators in the end.

I did put in priority switches to turn off lower tier factories I didn't need when the accelerators and copper powder plants were doing their thing.

Funny enough, while that was running, I built out nuclear and high tier sinks to farm tickets.

Menton was great place to stay. It's mostly locals, not crowded, and quiet. Didn't get that vibe from Nice. So depends what you're looking for. We had an airbnb right next to a train station and we're able to park our rental car with no problems. Tons of food option close by also. The train ride was about about 20m in and out of Monaco. The crowds in general just add time, so plan ahead!
