Very Special Thread Of Real Estate Randomness

cara · 11-05-2010, 11:37 PM

A few years ago, I was working hard to save money for a down payment on a place in Seattle. Got pre-qualified for a loan and even spent a few weekends with a realtor looking at condos. But the First Home Buyers loan I was expecting (it was a house key loan) fell through and I basically gave up. It's the primary reason I don't have a car right now--I was trying to save for the down payment and knew I wouldn't be able to afford the car after buying a place and paying for a mortgage. Anyway, my question is this and it really has nothing to do with everything I just said, but I'm random tonight and this is a special thread of real estate randomness so I'll ask anyway: my parents think it's crazy for a single person to want to own a house, but I don't want to live in a condo. I want land and a teeny tiny little house in the middle of nature. Do you think that's possible? Or just plain stupid.
