House or Condo..If i could do it all over again

[benjamin]

I'd probably cop that condo...having to cut grass on saturday mornings ..wife and BM sipping coffee while staring at me through the blinds like . Having a home is cool but its a money pitt

Any condo owners here? what made you choose a condo over a home?

Breh i work with has a condo, has a community center with a pool, gets his grass cut by his association, doesnt have to shovel snow in winter..etc

I'm beginning to think having a house is a scam
I grew up in a house with my parents and siblings. The amount of expenses they had to come out of pocket was absolutely crazy. And they still have to do worry about today. So much liability if something in your home mechanically breaks down

I started renting a condo about about 3 years ago and it changed my whole viewpoint. Having 24/7 maintenance is so awesome. A property manager that will fix things in your condo no problem

Now when I'm looking to buy in a couple of years, I'm getting either a Condo or Townhouse

yea man...i be looking at nikkas thats check to check talking about they wanna own a home just because you might be able to cover that monthly mortgage is nothing, thats just the beginning especially if you have an older home. New roof gone hit u for $8-10k, having an electrician come out can hit you for a quick $1200, kids accidentally put a hole in the wall or ruin the carpet by spilling shyt thats $400 -$600 etc... I'm blessed that im not struggling financially but it would be nice to not have to worry about certain things

we looking at moving into a condo late 2026

Why would I buy a condo where it's cacs//pajeets/nikkahs in my face? I hate the idea of paying $300k for a property other people have access to, I need my own shyt.

A condo you don't have any privacy. You don't have your own pool. You can't grill/smoke when you want. You can't play music. You can't work on your car. You can't life weights.


You sound lazy, cutting grass with some music and cold brew is a good time.

You buy a house and it's no rules. I bought a townhouse cause it was the nicest place that I could afford but having attached neighbors on both sides isn't ideal.

Then pay a company to mow it. You would've ended up paying a HOA for the same thing. Or get one of those robot mowers.

Lymow One Robotic Lawn Mower

Max. 1.73 Acres Mowing Area in 12H. 1200W Peak Output with powerful blades. Up to 45°(100% incline) Slope and 2" Obstacle. Ultra Sturdy Aluminum - Lymow Tech

www.lymow.com

With that said, your situation is rare, most home owners don't have a lot of land to cut.

And I'd love a riding mower, shyt sounds fun. Or maybe a gokart mower that's fast.

if you have an older home. New roof gone hit u for $8-10k

Also i agree with homes being a money pit

Edit:
I have a big back yard, normal sized front, and like you said that shyt gets monotonous cutting all the time. One day during the summer it was hot and humid as hell, I was about to go start cutting grass then said fukk that, went online and looked up some lawn people, they been cutting my yard twice a month ever since then

Paying an HOA is a never for me.
