KK Has FINALLY done it...*fingers crossed*

**Eurygnomes** · 29th June 2005, 11:20

I am SOOO impressed KK!!! I can't believe you own a HOUSE at 20?!!?! *lots of head-shaking, eyebrow-waggling amazement*

That's some determination man, when I was 20, I was still at school (uni - but it amounts to the same thing). I'm stunned. Wow, I'm totally in awe! Congratulations dude, REALLY!

I wish I had such inner fortitude!!

Well done that man. Now - remember this - it's your home, yours. Don't be moving in any lady that's going to start buying pot plants and swapping out your Pirelli calender for something with fluffy animals on it. Before you know it she'll unsubscibe your Sky Playboy subscription and be holding dinner parties for her boring ugly mates and their nerdy boyfriends. I suggest moving male mates in, hold beer parties and invite entertaining hot chicks around.

Congrats! Good on ya Logan.

**Slim** · 29th June 2005, 14:46

Congratulations Logan. You rock. How many years will you have to eat bread or 2 minutes noodles until it's paid off???

Biff - when I moved in with The Man, I replaced his boring service station calendar with an Isle of Man bike racing calendar & made him rearrange his garage so my bike would fit in too. We're not all as bad as you make out!

Good stuff dude and good on ya for sticking to your goals!! I just bought my first house (I'm 34) and I now wish I had the foresight to have done it a lot sooner like you.

Buying a house is an investment. A mortgage might sound like some huge bill but it is really just "compulsory saving", something you should have no problem with!
All the money you are putting in you will get back once you sell it - not only that you should make a tidy profit even after taking into account inflation and interest....and you have somewhere to live!

I shudder to think how much rent I've paid overs the years when all of that money could've gone to my bank account instead and if I knew what I know now I would've bought a house when I left home ....exactly what you have done! But convincing any teen of such action (let alone myself at 20!!) is near impossible so I must also commend you on your maturity which never ceases to amaze me!!

Hopefully it doesn't affect your racing - mine is put on the back burner along with all my other money eating hobbies for now

The mortgage insurance company wanted an additional $70 per month to cover me racing

As i said before logo, WICKED STUFF MATE!!!! Cant wait for the party...

**Kwaka-Kid** · 29th June 2005, 20:55

thanks everybody for the kind words and even offers of more help in there! MDU will be PMing you, and hell dave, im still buzzing on this so im gunna invite myself around to your place sometime real soon (there is another motive too, will chat to you about that, bahaha!)

Still learning like so much and everything is coming up so fast, despite the long time ive had to sort the housey thing out, and doing some fair research etc, plus listening to AS MUCH advice as possible from anyone whom offered, there is still so much more to the sorting out of the mortgage of the place and just the tid-bits of a private sale too i guess.

Also its funny how there are so many extra costs you dont (or i didnt) perfectly cater for i.e conveyencing(sp?), setting up of my trust, and any professional advice fees (though ive skimped completely on these so far). But ill make it.

Also, my orignal plan was to yes, pay the thing off ASAP! (still taking advice re: fixed/floating etc mortgages).. so every last cent was going to hit that mortgage.

However more recent discussion (last 6 months) has seriously made me consider a rental... or rentals.. i still need alot of advice and to do some more planning, as i do want to continue to race, and would like to give it a proper shot. (there really is waaay too much to spend your money on in life!) Thanks once again guys.

Logan
