This is often what's missing in the discussions I see on facebook among people that have no knowledge of real estate. "My parents bought a house that they paid off in 5 years on his meager salary!" Well yeah, but it was half the size of your apartment, Susan.
This should absolutely be talked about more often.

- tlb 8y agoGet one with a garage, and turn the garage into an office. Typical Northern California architecture, which includes a garage that most people don't park their car in, provides a lot of spaces to start projects in. It's better to start a project in a garage than in a spare bedroom or basement, because if your project starts taking off you can have customers and employees there without awkwardness. It only works if the climate is good enough to work in a sheltered but unheated space year round.
