The problem with this is I'd rather find a house that I love and want to spend the rest of my life in. I don't really want to move every 5 to 10 years; that sounds awful.
Our current plan is to save for a couple of years to get a big downpayment.
Yep, you're willing to take the plunge. I'll plunge with you and then teach you how to be broke as fuck if it all falls apart.
