A starter house is just a basic house, no upgrades, with small bedrooms. (usually 10x10) Or would you wait to purchase a bigger house you can grow into when you are married?

Absolutely! You have nothing when you pay rent. A starter house is like money in the bank. If you want a bigger house when you get married you can sell it and use the money for the new house. You will build equity, have better credit because you are a home owner, and fix it up the way you want it. Go for it.

Just before I met my husband I was looking to buy a house. Who knows, maybe you'll be like me and find a husband with a house instead. lol. However, with love there are no guarantees and you never know when you'll find that person, so there's no point in throwing money away on rent when you could be investing and creating equity. If you choose to purchase a new home together, you could always use that equity to pay for the wedding or honeymoon.

The sooner you can buy something, the better. Why pay rent ? You can always upgrade to a bigger house when the right person comes along. Remember, that might not happen for a few years yet.

Absolutely !!
Owning a house is a write off , and renting is for your land lords pocket !
That money is gone for ever .
So yes , go for it .....it's the best thing to do , even if it
s just a small house to start with .
You will feel so proud owning a place and paying your Mortgage every month .
A LOT better then paying your rent .

Go for it - live in it until you can but what you really want - by then you'll have enough equity in the house to save you tons of money on the big house - you can keep after-wards as rental property or you can call it an investment and sell hopefully for a profit - good luck

Absolutely!! Just add all the rent you have paid or will pay, and then realize your monthly payment will be going towards a house that you own. Renting, when you can buy is a big waste of money. Listen to me, I have many years of renting behind me and now have my own house. Nothing like it!!!!!

I would definately get into a starter home. It may be a little more than rent but you are getting that money back eventually by paying it down plus more with equity!

I'd buy a condo straight out. I've never liked living in a house.
