He may find several years down the road when he may need a bigger home that house maybe very well be worth less then he paid for it.

Buying homes today is almost like buying a car, it is no longer a investment.

We both have seperate apartments that cost over $2000 combined. I have been renting for about 6 years and see no point to renting anymore. At this point I have excellent credit as does she so that wouldnt be an issue.

I know that the housing market is not the greatest right now but i figure if im gonna put 2000 towards housing fee's i'd like to see something for my money
