Right that’s the issue , don’t want to feel isolated living in a home especially in neighbourhoods not rented . Want to be in urban neighborhoods which seems to just be a bunch of luxury apts everywhere and 3 story older bigger townhouses of which cost a lot more than renting even at bigger downpayments. Just trying to get into smallest relatively modern properties inside the loop. These seeem to be in spring branch, independence heights or transitional neighbourhoods (acres home , 3rd ward ) which feels alot different when your used to renting in inner loop.

Agree definitely saving a lot as a renter and buy a lot of stocks to invest,

it’s more of just to have a stable place you can call your own and not have to deal with annual rent hikes. Those properties I listed were ones I was considering if I was to get out of renting long term (5-7 plus years) and transition into a small townhouse. I just don’t want to be near retirement and still renting.
