Your principle and interest will be $299.67 with a 20% down payment and a 3.84% interest rate.

Depending on where you live in flyover the estimators on insurance and property tax are worthless. I live in small town flyover and my property taxes are twice as high as local suburbia of major city. Insurance may be high because of tornado/wind & storm/hail damage. You may be expected to replace your roof every 10-15 years.

Like I said around 600 is what I'd expect realistically.

commute would be around 30 minutes

i'm also looking at a more traditional, standalone suburban house that's bigger with a big yard, by water, etc. - that's around 250K

not yet, but probably just one

other option is a larger house (2500 sq feet) for 250k in a gated community

my parents lean towards the latter

real estate is pretty much NOT an investment in flyover, period though, so i'm split. it'd be nice having a larger space (and maybe higher interest deductions) but it'd be nice having a cheap house

The house you're looking at sounds fine for a couple with no kids, but if you want kids you need a bigger house.

We're looking at moving to a bigger house soon ourselves and are in a DINK house now.

CR. As you said above, housing in flyover isn't an investment AT ALL; place will not appreciate in value much, if at all, more than inflation.

Other thing to potentially look at is buying a duplex/double and renting out the other unit; depending on the particular property, it may cover the mortgage, insurance, & property tax. You'd then cover maintenance on both yours and the rental. Move to a bigger house later and keep it as an investment property.

CR, I've thought about this too - I wanted to get into slumlording for awhile, and being a landlord is actually possible in flyover.

I'd try to take out some kind of a mortgage to get the interest rate deduction. I think that might net out higher in the long run - invest the extra cash every month into the market, get the interest rate deduction, and don't throw away money on rent. So even if the property just keeps steady with inflation, it'd be OK.

Ha, ya, not sure I'd want to be that close to my mom but good for you if you guys are close.

Ya, supposedly duplex is a good way to get your feet wet on rental properties because they're small and you're right there on premises. Once you sell if there's a bunch of tax advantages that would let you roll it into a bigger property w/o paying taxes.
