Following up on this since we just got our appraisal, which was $41K higher than the sale price. All the recent comps that were similar in size, etc. to our house went quite a bit higher; around our appraisal value.
Bought my 4 bed 3.5 bath house in 2020 for $220k and it's valued at $290 already :bandaras:look how much the value went up in 3 years only :
Just looking at the market now. I just moved into a studio in a luxury building got it for $1675 a month. Got this shyt looking dope dropped about $3K furnishing everything new, plan on staying here at least 2-3 more years. The goal is to eventually own something outside of the city by the time I’m 30.
I got about $50,000 saved up and a 720 credit score. I grew up in Section 8 housing and I’m a city boy with only the most basic of handy man skills. I never mowed a lawn in my life.
This year I’m projected to make a bit under $90K. shyt is gonna be tough in the Tri-State to check off all the boxes of what I’m looking for.
I’m newly single (my ex owned a house in a low cost of living city, grew up in the suburbs, me being in her house was a big point of contention for us she would go crazy at every lil mishap). Ideally I want to own my own shyt first so nobody can take claim to my shyt and nobody that has their own can put that over my head and be snobbish.

Anyway Tri-State brehs any tips?
You have popcorn ceilings? If so, Sounds about right due to the labor of scraping it all off and depending on the size of the ceiling.
It's tough because I'm in NYC. 300K is like a fixer upper in the city or in the surrounding suburbs.
Wherever you consider, check out a homestyle or 203k loan. You can include renovation costs in the mortgage. Here is an older article from nerd wallet
