Message: [QUOTE="MadDogRevival, post: 2702802, member: 8028"] Are you this extreme with everything in life? Is everything so black and white from your perspective? If everybody listened to advice on this board, everybody would be a UConn Men's Basketball fan, and nobody would be any other kind of fan. Lol. Seriously, you seem very tightly wound on this and other things (e.g. don't cut your own grass, throw yourself into your work). Yeah man, you're arguing against yourself. Nobody is pitching home ownership as a primary investment. Most of the advice in this thread is an attempt to help the OP get into a house that will best suit him. That's it. Nobody is telling him to empty his 401k and buy the biggest house in New Canaan he can finance. The advice to "buy the fixer-upper in a nice neighborhood" was just advice for him, with his particular set of facts, and where he's at in life. Not advice for everybody in every situation. Have a beer. Or something. [/QUOTE]
