I have been urged for years now to invest in property. The parental unit has offered to lend money for the down payment (yes, they are wonderful) but the idea of purchasing something as monumental as property, plainly put, freaks me out. I don't know where I'll be in 2 years...how do I attempt to make something my own while knowing there is a huge possibility I'll have to pick up and leave it behind? And this being said, beyond my emotional fears...is it even realistic for me to be paying a LA mortgage? I'm not sure it's financially possible to live within my means and pay a mortgage...
But I'm going to look around and see if I find anything that shouts "you can't walk away, i'm worth every sacrifice" - because the market is at a place now where if I didn't, it could easily be one of the biggest mistakes (financially speaking) ever. Who knows where the housing market could be in the next few years. But I assure you, the next few steps aren't being taken without a looming fear of the unknown.
Do I smell a return of the...commitment fear?
