Bought my condo the day of my 23rd birthday

**crockett** · 07-22-2006, 03:29 PM

I bought my first house on my 21st birthday back when you had to work hard for your money.. Before this easy internet stuff.

Then I lost it by the time I was 25 because I was trying to do too much at once with too many businesses.

But hey at least I can laugh about that now..

**baddog** · 07-22-2006, 03:30 PM

I was 23.

**zigx** · 07-22-2006, 04:26 PM

lots of youngins! i bought it @ 22 as well... i think we are all around the same age.

funny when u have friends who can barely make rent living with 4 sweaty people.

**JFK** · 07-22-2006, 04:55 PM

I owned a few of them @25

**myjah** · 07-22-2006, 05:02 PM

Got my first home at 21, foreclosure so it was an excellent deal at 90k.

**Herb Kornfield** · 07-22-2006, 05:06 PM

24 - Cost me $67k. Sold it 1 year later once I realized how mcuh condo living sucked balls. I hated the place the day I bought it ... dont get stoned and go house shopping I learned the hard way.

26 - Bought my home I have now for $99k that 7 years later is selling for close to $300k for the same house in this area. Fucking insane ... I'd never pay $300k for this place .....

Looking for my next house once the market here collapses in on itself on the cheap since there will be a SHITLOAD of foreclosures to pick from.

**J. Falcon** · 07-22-2006, 05:09 PM

I'll let you know...

Define a few years. If it's 10, then yup

Nah, I was thinking more like 2-3 years.

**jayeff** · 07-22-2006, 06:13 PM

I was 18. It was a small 4-room cottage in the east of England which cost me the princely sum of 700 stirling (that would have been around $1500, if memory serves)

If that seems ridiculous, at the time my family owned several streets of workers' houses in the north, most of which had been occupied by the same families for many years. Thus they were rent controlled, with the rent set at around 55 cents a week. Eventually the local council got us off the hook by buying them to build a multi-storey car park in their place.

**E$_manager** · 07-22-2006, 06:35 PM

i bought appartment with my husband - it considered? i was 25.

**Xenophage** · 07-22-2006, 08:06 PM

**the Shemp** · 07-22-2006, 08:20 PM
