Reply to comment by MommaGuy in 22 and loosing hope for a house anytime soon. by TotalDebate6050

I want to say it was 7.25 when I bought and the FHA allowed 10% down as it was a three family. Sold it for a massive profit in 2004 and the new owner spent a fortune remodeling it before the crash. He owned it 15 years and just covered his rehab in equity. I think I made $700 a week back then.

We could sell the house and make a huge profit. The house is not our dream house but the location is awesome. Dead end street. Town services. And almost an acre of land. And we are only 5 miles from work. I would rather stay and keep socking money away for early retirement.

I have the issue of a 3.5 mortgage and nowhere to live until prices crash. I think in the end I will buy one more house and keep my current one as an investment if I can keep more mortgage rate.
