Hi there,

I’m looking to purchase my first home in the Charlotte area with the intention to live in the home for a year or two, and then rent or sell and do it over again. My husband is an architect and I’m a designer, so we have some skills to make updates if needed.

I have up to $70k to put down. Does it make sense to buy something nicer with a bigger mortgage and exhaust our savings, or go cheaper and have savings left for another house when the time comes to move?

We would not be open to roommates. 

I’m totally new to this and open to any and all suggestions.
