The Carp
I'm looking to buy a home. Here are my circumstances:
-I'm single
-Paying $550 a month in rent
-Only gross $36,000 /yr
-My job seems pretty secure right now (75% of my salary is currently subsidised by grants)
-Can afford $700 /month mortgage
-My parents are willing to pay a $10-20k down payment
-I've seen some nice small (1200 sq ft.) homes nearby at around $90,000
So...good idea? bad idea? Thoughts?
