Home Ownership?

We are in the process of looking for a house rn! My husband owned our last home but this next one is going to be owned by both of us :) just waiting for the right one to come along. My husband brings in the majority of our income. I have a cleaning business that allows me to work very little yet bring in maybe 500-1k a month.

My husband (42 yo) and I (32 yo) bought our first home last year. We had one kid at the time and a second on the way. Definitely a "starter home" for sure

I’ve never believed in rent. I’d sooner buy smaller than pay rent. Done so since 21.
The truth is, rent smaller and cheaper, save as much as possible, buy and fix up when you can is best idea.

We bought our house in 2018 when I was still a SAHM.

We own our home ☺️. The home we bought is our starter home but it’s so nice and newly renovated that it can be a forever home but I want to build our dream DREAM home.

We bought our first home (a 3 bed 2 bath mobile home) in NJ in 2014 for $10k. We had it renovated & up for sale & it finally sold in January for $67k.

Last May we moved 300 miles away from our home state & bought a 2 bedroom, 2 bath manufactured home on a basement foundation that needs some work for $70k. We'll have an acre of land & live in a tiny rural neighborhood about 10 minutes from town. We're starting our garden soon & we'll be adding our first livestock in the next few weeks.

We've done all of this on a single income of less than $5k net a month. I'm in the process of gaining a skill & intend to work up to matching or exceeding my husband income & from there I'd love to rent our house out & buy a significantly larger property & a comfortable sized home.

We just picked up the keys to our first home! It’s taken us a long time 🙌

Hahahah we are millennials living in Southern California.. we will likely be renters for life

Own my own home. Bought it all myself and on one income.

We have kind of a weird situation - I moved from the US to the UK and there are some funky tax laws, so my husband owns our house and technically my name isn’t on it. He pays all of the mortgage and bills (and both our kids’ nursery which is about £3,600 a month itself) so I’m not complaining. But when we buy our ‘forever home’ it will be in both of our names.

I own my home, had it before my partner and I met. And now we own it together.

I own my home and pay the mortgage, utilities, and internet. My partner pays for car insurance and phone bill. We both pay for food. He pays for car&house maintenance and for new appliances.

I bought my home when I was 27 in 2012. At the time I was just dating my now husband, I was a single mother with one child. I was full time worker and in the Army reserves, so in honesty I had some leverage with loans and a down payment. We’re now married and he’s part owner, it seems like the more we talked about moving the more expensive it got to buy. So we’re sticking with our starter home. It’s definitely possible as a single mom, but location is a huge factor. Unless you are just hell bent on where you live, possibly think about moving. There are some nice starter homes in nice neighborhoods for decent prices.

I’m in my 3rd mortgaged home, this one my now hubs just added me to the deed when I walked him through refinancing, he bought the property next door to his folks so they could live out their lives in their own home, so we couldn’t just move. Now we could, but it’s just too expensive & we wouldn’t even be able to afford half of what we have, kinda messed up. My other homes were purchased w/my ex, but I didn’t need him to be capable of buying them. My stepmom was a broker & my bio mom passed w/o a will, I never really had to rent, she knew the ends & outs of the market & when you own a home & don’t have a will, the house is split between children & spouse, so I bought my first house at 20. Parents taught me how to make my credit work for me as a poor person. 🤷🏻‍♀️

We have a chunky mortgage so the bank actually own more of it than we do.

I bought a house myself before I even met my husband. We then sold that and bought another shortly after we got married.

I don't currently own a home but when I was a married, we owned 2 homes.
