woowoo congrats you two!! I'm sure it will be worth all the lawn mowing to have a place you can call your own. So where is it? Is it actually in the city, or out farther?
Hmm.. I'm not sure I can wait till the end of June to come visit and see it. :)
Well, property taxes do suck, but you will also be building up equity on the mortgage with your monthly house payments, whereas your rent was no sort of investment whatsoever. . .
As far as the lawnmowing is concerned, if you can afford it (and assuming you like to mow the lawn as much as my parents enjoy it) you might want to look into hiring someone to do it for you, like a neighborhood kid who is looking for extra money, or, like in my parents' case, a "Mexican gardener."
