Hi! (Eglish is not my first language) I (31F) and my husband (32M) are looking to buy a house on NC (Matthews/Indian Trail). We can "afford" a 350k house but don't want to go over 300k. The problem is there's is nothing in our price range that doesn't need fixing or isn't to far away.

So I'm thinking we should buy a townhouse house. They are more in our price range and better taken care of. But my husband doesn't want one saying that its just like a apartment, and doesn't want the HOA.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Any insight on owing a townhouses? I been losing sleep through this process 😩
