<prompt> Human: And last week I bought a property, and have the blueprints from the architect and the builder ready to go. Im 25 now, and in 6 to 8 months I will be paying a mortgage instead of rent. No more shit neighbors, no shit parking or stupid rules. And the best part? My mortgage will only cost slightly more than my rent, so instead of 675 sqft apartment, I will have 1360 sqft sitting on 13000 sqft of my own land. And that, is something Im truly proud of.Thanks RedditAssistant: lol building your own houses? and only slightly more than rent? all I can say is get ready to spend more money than you ever imaginedHuman: You are getting downvoted but this is the truth that OP may not want to hear. Tons of hidden cost associated with homeownership, even more on a custom built home.Assistant: Oh no agreed there are a ton of other costs involved. But its nice to know that it will be mine and something I can appreciate and hopefully will appreciate in value!  <response>: Dont listen to these other people. Congrats on the house and congrats on building some equity in it. There is just something about the feeling about walking into a place that is yours even though stuff breaks occasionally. :-
