I figured take the month and make sure she’s in a safe environment and then see what happens. $100/month is what I was thinking as well.

I do think that it is a good deal in the current environment, especially considering that the property is close to a university where enrollment is growing at double digits.

Too many people on here are full of hot air about "retiring" and think that buying homes in 4-5% interest rate environments, with unemployment at sub 4%, no recession and no market pull backs is going to last forever.

I am originally from NYC but moved down here in January of 2010 to raise my son in a different environment with more opportunities.

I’ve heard opinions from both sides, but wouldn’t mind additional feedback in light of current increasing interest rate environment.

We are still operating in a historically low interest rate environment and while none of us really like it, it's actually good for the economy.Best of luckStephanie

So I wasn't new to the environment and experiences. 

Instead, you'll be looking at 5-10 year ARMS, which is scary in the current rising interest rate environment we're in right now.Impossible to say which way you should go.  

The super told me he doesn't want anyone like that in his work environment, they climb up and down 250 foot tall steel structures in a petrochemical refinery.

Still, we would like to do something for the environment.
