Making a house my Home

Ok all...
We have finally made a decision. We sat down and wrote down the pros and cons to each property.

Both of us said the cons for the burbs are not being close in to the activities and doings that we love and gas money higher taxes.

Cons to the little house in the city... 800 sqft, have to buy all new appliances and needs TLC left and right.

Pros to the Burbs... New no work needed, equity, 2100 sqft.

Pros to cute house in the city... smaller pmt, close in, 1/2 block from popular park.

I spoke to Brent last night and as you said racquel he and I are on the same page. INVESTMENT INVESTMENT INVESTMENT then comfort.

I cant wait to go home to Portland, I cant wait until we get to house hunt for what we WANT all around! D's parents own a house on NE Schuyler in the grant park/lloyd district. Its an old victorian and it has been 100% refinished from the inside out all original except the technology of course, but we love it. We dont want something quite so big but we would love to refinish something like it someday, I look forward to coming home more and more.

Thanks for all your comments and advice.
