The year I turned 40, was the year I moved into my first non-rental property.

I'm living proof that shit is fucked up

    I'm turning 40 in a few days. I finally moved into a crazy beat-up fixer-upper/possible crime scene about 3 weeks ago.

    Welcome to the club. Were you able to afford the fixer upper on your own, or did you need to split the financial burden with another person?

    I found a rare rent-to-own locally. So it's in my name and otherwise the same as buying, except the original owner is the bank. As long as I stay 2-3 years, I come out ahead if viewed as a rental. If I make it 20 (or can get ahead/clever in various ways), I own it outright/maybe make a little bit.

    I'm a couple of years older and JUST escaped renting. It's ridiculous!

    Welcome to the club.

    What percentage of your income now goes to your mortgage payment? For me, it's like 110%... But I have help, so my share is only like 35%
