Then live mortgage and rent free except for your condo fee. Special assessments? You need to do regular maintenance and upkeep on your detached house too. I think it's a wash.

Honestly this was 100% our plan when we bought, and while it’s obvious in hindsight… the suburbs are designed for families with kids, and not well suited for a child free lifestyle.
After 9 years of aggressively paying down our mortgage on this place, I’d rather put that equity to a different use then setting down permanent roots here.
