That's why I rent instead of buying a house. I don't feel comfortable in the fact I don't I have a lot of wiggle room when it comes to the upkeep. I know way too many people that are house broke.

I love my apartment... 
A townhome is something I'm looking to investing in tho in the future...

Right.
And thanks for the words.
American Black people who are in a healthy economic space need to really get to a place where we can create legacy for our future.
Interestingly enough, we are in the best situation to do it. I figure, as a result of growing up in a particular environment, I have the effortless ability to reciprocate respect/love/community in places that other demographics would find to be an uphill battle.
I envision(I'm a dreamer not a a planner, sigh) founding a middle class think tank that takes advantage of our ability to connect w/ the inner city and 1) injecting a new and positive blood in poorly viewed neighborhoods and 2) helping with community development and improving property value in the process.
Imagine 7-12 Black middle class/upper middle class families agreeing to move, as a Bloc, to a street or group of streets in, say, Brownsville.
We'd be able to purchase the property at very good value.
We'd make a dedication not to just be "in the neighborhood" but to be "of" the neighborhood and part of the community.
We'd have to ensure that we don't engage in the "we are better than them" attitudes that can easily be acquired when you're in a better financial position.
We'd of course have to brave through the first years of higher rates of crime and poor school districts but we'd also have to be active in repairing that and putting pressure, through community boards, to have the city take responsibility.
Like a seed, the potential benefit for all involved - the middle class Bloc, the lower income families who will benefit from the development, non of the negative feelings attached to gentrification, and the increase in property value.
Man... let me stop there. I'm too emotional about this...
I'd call the initiative....
The Concrete Village Foundation - Facilitating the migration of prominent middle class/ upper middle class Black families into the poorly viewed inner city communities with a focus to bridging a gap between those in different economic stratospheres, increasing the positive psychological outlook of the community, and re-establishing the strategy of legacy building.

Do whatever works for you at the end of the day but I get annoyed at these elitist folks who think owning a home is the only way. shyt, I do my side dealings with music and film, might get an offer to move to a new city.
I fukked with a girl who moved from Chicago to NC and owned a house back in Chicago. It was the biggest pain in the ass for her to sell because it's a nice house in a nice hood on the SOUTHSIDE of Chicago so location was fukked up. Her being 1500 miles away and having to trust the Real Estate agent, it's not selling. All the cost associated with it. Her having to make random trips to Chicago for meetings. That's not the business for her. She never wanted to buy a house again.
