We've looked into it. Assuming you're financed and bought pre-2021, in order to meaningfully upgrade your house you probably need to at least TRIPLE your monthly payments - probably quadruple....

trying to trade up to add 1 br and ~300 sq ft and it's like, hmm that'll be an extra $400,000 (with accompanying higher tax and insurance payments)

we gave up a 2.125% to buy a house worth 2.5x as much but paid cash. financing it would have made no sense

was the all-cash one discounted bc it was all-cash? otherwise wtf that makes no sense to forego a loan below inflation rate in order to pay cash, which in your savings would've at least tracked inflation

this was my entire 2023. despite assiduously following disco fries' advice at every step we simply could not make it work

at this point we're deciding whether to try for round two or just accept it and start blowing the $$$ on other shit

Just save up to buy in cash breh. I'm not even joking, that's the only real move here.

We bought a new house in 2023. Got it done by having two mortgages for awhile. Paid a down payment and all closing costs while paying reno costs on the old house. Paid for the move. Moved. Finally got the old house on the market. It was one nightmare after another. House sold. Then we went to closing. By that time I was so exhuasted and up to my eyeballs in debt. Got the wire.

Now our new mortgage (at 6.5%) is paid down and we have just 17 years remaining on the loan.

Maybe we can refinance one day, maybe not.

Honestly the cash flow problems kind of worked themselves out once we got the other house sold and it's 2.75% mortgage paid off. I do pay more in interest now, at 6.5%, but it's a better house and we are happier.

I ran out of money to be honest.

We are pretty poor as a family and I have a hard and fast rule about not having more than 10% of our net worth tied up in my primary home (which is the only real estate that we own).

I hate real estate and I just think it's a huge anchor around your neck once you dip your toe in.

I will be buying in cash in about 18 months after my next deployment. Obviously buying on credit is not possible at this time
