The plan was to buy one in 2019. Didn’t work out and COVID hit. I’m stuck now. In this lease till Dec 2022. Also prices are sky high and so are mortgage interest rates. I’m good.

I own a condo and i help repair my parents house. Both are approximately the same age. Here is what needs to be fixed in a home in Houston:
1) roof replacement ($4-$6k)
2) foundation repair ($8-12k)
3) siding replacement ($4-$6k)
4) bathroom leaking from second to first story ($1-2k)
5) bathroom (1st floor) replacement due to leaks and damage ($10k)
6) kitchen stove ($4k)
Please when buying a home, research the builder and save ahead of time. The rule is save 5-10% of what your mortgage for capital expenses.
What people won't tell you is that things in your house can immediately break so having 5-10% of the value of your monthly mortgage should help

also research the private seller market for appliances, you can get new appliances for less that way. i had to get rid of the new stove my house came with because i wasn't going to be using gas energy. sold it for less than $500 on craigslist

The stove and oven are both built into the house.
Id advise against getting built in stoves and oven. Having 1 piece is cheaper and easier to fix. My condo has a an oven and stove appliance.

Income based apartments rent is not even that cheap in my area.
I love my apartment!
I live alone in a 1 bedroom with a balcony in a building with a pool and a gym and an elevator.
I love not having roommates!
Couldn't imagine this living in NYC.
