Great question. There’s a lot of variables there obviously. I had my first house at 23 years old. Bought it for $300k back in 2009.
So, you're 38 years old now!!! Thanks for confirming. 😆

looking back, is there anything you would change/advise/etc.?

I would’ve stayed in the house longer to build more equity into it. I’ve made money and got bigger houses every time I’ve bought one. I will say, you don’t NEED a huge house. There are so many rooms that don’t even get used. I wanted a big yard and got that and then my kids are too old now to actually enjoy apart from doing a little basketball and putting from the green I installed. I spend more time keeping up on it than anything.
Find a house that suites your needs in a city that you could see yourself living in for a long time with people that you can do life with. Something that won’t break the bank which is hard now with the interest rates.
I would’ve also set aside some of the equity after selling each house for my kids so that they would be prepared for this world.
