I often wonder if I made the right decision to buy my condo instead of just renting something. Calculating it out, the amount I spend per month in property tax, condo fees, and interest on my mortgage is more or less what I would spend in rent for a one bedroom, my place is a two bedroom. That part is not bad, the one that gets me is the 100k I have sunk into my condo as a down payment, making me zero money.
I guess the ultimate answer on whether it was a good decision is if down the road I'll be able to sell it for more than I paid. A lot of the time though I find myself wishing I had just rented a one bedroom place in Mission (didn't want to buy there because of flooding, but renting why not), invested my money and just waited for a house.
