Good advice here guys. It sucks looking at houses because you make a list in your head about what you want in a house but at my price range I cant get everything I want on my dream list . Is it worth paying a $100 more on a mortgage and out of your comfort zone just to have a house of your dreams? I could either get this one house and be way in my comfort zone and just accept that it wont have everything I want or I can spend a little more out of my comfort zone and have the house I've always wanted. ahhh I would just hate to be chained to a mortgage like Tim said because I will be the only one paying the mortgage/utilities unless I would get a roommate which would be awesome but you can't rely on someone like that at times
