being a homeowner

it's been two good years. my thoughts right now about homeownership:

the market has obviously been crazy, so i am trying to be as optimistic as possible and am grateful that i am not in over my head with this house.

it's a big commitment. especially when you are single and want to have the option of moving around more. for some reason i didn't realize this.

it's good because it's yours, the responsibility is huge though, if something breaks, you have to fix it. :) and you also take a lot more pride in making everything look good and work well.

it's been good for me to figure out what i like and what i don't like about this house. what i would do differently and what i would do the same. i will definitely have more of an opinion on my next purchase. :)

owning this home + being in the business i am have taught me lessons about mortgages and real estate that will help me the rest of my life.

this house has brought such amazing people into my life and such amazing lessons that i will forever be grateful for choosing to own this home. it has really helped me stretch and grow.
