Why rent when you can own.
Experience
This was our first house. We moved in one week after the wedding. I was a little miffed when I found out my husband offered the full asking price, but one year later we nearly doubled our money and moved to what would be the next of 3 homes we owned during our marriage. Even when I divorced after 25 years of marriage, it was still very exciting to buy my first condo all by myself.
