We bought this house knowing it wouldn’t be our forever home, but it is a perfect starter home for a couple in their mid 20’s with a 1 year old. I couldn’t imagine putting myself in that much of a debt just for bragging rights on social media.Celia wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 8:19 pmDo you mind saying where? We’re in Geneva.

It took us months to find the right balance between location, purchase price and property taxes. We certainly didn’t buy the first house that appealed to us like Rashy did. Our realtor was amazing though and guided us along the way. My parents live in a nice suburb in the county above us for 500k and their property taxes are 19k. Illinois property taxes are ridiculooooously expensive.

My parents live in a nice suburb in Lake County, make over 600k and bought a house for half the amount the bank were willing to loan them. I’m dying at the fact Rachelle is buying a 640k house, with YT as their sole income. How have their parents not told them they are stupid for this decision. I know my parents would worry about my mortgage payment being dependent on how many views I got that month...
I honestly think she probably over exaggerates what she earns. I dont know how they arent up to their eyeballs in debt and really question her savings... i still think every square on her chart was $1!
My parents worried about us when we had an offer accepted on one house before selling our current house. We did bridging finance to be able to do both houses. Our then current house went unconditional and sold about 10 days later.
I cant imagine having zero regular income and having a $640k house.
They are both so so stupid. I can see trash whinging to justina til he said “okay”
