    I think you misunderstood...there are people paying $600/month on their Tacoma and some people are paying that much on rent.

    My husband does the bills...but I believe our mortgage is $1300. We pay extra every month and refinanced a few years back. We've been paying on it for say....12 years and have only 7 years left. :thumbsup:

    It'll be nice to be under 50 and have the house paid off. ;):D

    Poop is not the word I use when thinking about it! Wife and I are first time buyers so we get some downpayment assistance and special low fixed rate for the first (also intrest only for the first 5 years) and deferred payment and intrest for five years on the second. It workes out good for me 'cause my kid will be in full time school in 3 years so I will be free to return to work full time when the "promo" period ends.

    I pay $650 a month for a 2 bedroom 1100sq ft condo. That includes everything. Heat, a/c, cable, cable internet, lights, gas, etc.

    Unfortunately in 2 months that all comes to an end. I locked into my lease a couple yrs ago when the rental market was bad and the same units now are renting for around $900. On the upside it's a perfect time to buy a house. :) Gotta love market reversal.

    Any of you first time buyers paying PMI insurance?

    We didn't have 20% down on our house and had to pay PMI insurance. It was like $85 a month - sucks, but necessary if you don't have that kinda cash to put down. We refinanced after 8 years I believe and were able to get rid of the PMI because the mortgage-to-value (or whatever they call it) had reached past 20%.

    I see now - there are new laws in place (not sure what they are).
    Before - even if your mortgage/loan went beyond the 20% - the bank wouldn't drop the PMI insurance. They'd keep collecting it until YOU (the home-owner) would request them to drop it. Stupid....banks kept pocketing that money that you didn't have to pay.
    So as a home-owner, you really had no idea when your home value reached that 20% point unless you paid off 20% of the principle or you had your home appraised to be worth more.

    I can't believe some of the prices that some of you are paying. I have a two story two bedroom town house for $500 a month. I guess I might look for something a little nicer once I win the lotto.

    The county of Santa Clara, CA has a program that keeps you from paying PMI if your a first time home buyer. You have to go thru first horizon bank (I think) only with this county program. I think the second "piggyback" loan (I think thats the term) is the mechinism that helps you to avoid PMI.

    I have been reading so much crap online that my brain is financial mush right now! :)

    I think my wife set us up an appt this week to talk to a HUD certified counselor to go over all the info/options.

    $475 for a 1200 square foot condo less than 10 minutes West of Downtown Ft Worth. I think my roommate pays $550 for his room since it's bigger, and the electric and water are flat rate and included in the HOA fees, which are taken care of by the owner of the condo.
