So I've been living downtown with the girlfriend for close to a year now. Love being downtown and being able to walk to work, but hate condo living. I grew up in the middle of nowhere surrounded by fields and forest, so 700 sq ft of living space and dealing with property management are starting to crush my will to live.
We both make pretty good coin and I'm thinking it might be get a house and stop watching my money disappear to rent each month. Having only lived right downtown, I don't know the surrounding neighbourhoods that well. Don't want to go too far out and will definitely be looking for areas that are up-and-coming with some fixer uppers available (I can swing a hammer).
Any suggestions for areas to keep an eye on? What's everybody's housing strategy?
