advice for first time home buyer?

[prohornblower]

You're so young, and you aren't planning on having kids for 7 years. Why need a big house?

And why do you need a 2 bedroom apartment? 1 bedroom is enough, no? I'm guessing you live in a 2 br apartment because you feel cluttered based on your "hate renting" comment.

I don't know man, owning a home is a big responsibility. It's kind of nice when you live in an apartment and the water heater/washer/dryer/dishwasher/refrigerator/stove/microwave/toilet breaks and you can just call the maintenance dude to fix it.

Owning a home comes with a lot more hassle and stress and mowing a yard. lol.
