Message: [QUOTE="XLCenterFan, post: 3866768, member: 8712"] Wife and I considered buying the house I grew up in. Despite getting offered a GREAT price from my parents (they offered it to us for like $290K and ended up selling it for $375K) we ended up not buying for a few reasons. Ironically, we ended up buying a home on the same street (for less than $290K too). [LIST] [*]House was simply way too big for what we need/want (It's just the 2 of us + 2 cats) [*]I have 2 younger brothers and didn't want any hard feelings [*]Didn't want my parents feeling bad if the furnace went, or if anything costly came up [*]Didn't want any hard feelings from parents or brothers if we took the great deal and then sold for profit, either in the short or long-term [*]Didn't like the optics of looking like a spoiled little punk (we would have bought the house, but I'm sure people would have speculated it was given to us) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
