What should i buy..condo or house?

Question

So there’s this condo in Lake Conroe that I really like…its going for $90k… but my BF says to get a house... Those Condos are worthless… I don’t want to buy a house when its only me by myself and I’m only 19!!! I can buy a home around the same price range but living alone in a big house is not want I want… don’t get me wrong I would love having my own garage and big yard but I think a condo will suite me better…what should I get….he wants me to get a house in Houston which is closer to my job. I drive 40 miles to work everyday… it doesn’t sound like a bad idea living closer to home but Houston is not a place for me to be around…the crime is not so good…especially where my job is located…and can you imagine if I buy a condo or house in downtown…that’s a lot! What should I do???

Answer 1

Your money, your decision! If you are more comfortable with getting a condo and you really like the one in Lake Conroe, then go for it.  A single home is great, but if it doesn't suit your needs at this time, then why do it.? I understand about the ride to work etc., but I also understand your concerns. My husband and I live in San Antonio....we live an hour outside of downtown and the extra drive to work is well worth it.
