While that may be true in some instances, it’s imporant to know what you’re getting to. I mean, when you factor in closing costs, taxes, repairs, maintenance, responsibilities, etc., you really have a lot extra on your plate, compared to renting. Just giving a potential buyer in this thread something else to think about.
However, I would encourage anyone on here looking to buy a house, to invest in the city. Buffalo needs good people to make the slow turn around it’s starting to make. Some see it, some don’t. I believe in people making the difference. That’s one of the reasons I bought my house. I know it may sound cynical, but I haven’t lost all faith in the human populace just yet.
Here’s a thought to ponder. Usually once a week, after garbage day, I walk down my street with a garbage bag, and pick up trash. You’d be shocked at how many people notice. I mean it takes 15 minutes a weeks TOPS, and it’s funny, I’ve noticed less and less trash out there, every week I’ve done it. Sometimes a little effort goes a long way, especially when others see you going out of your way.
i lost all faith in Buffalo when some crackhead watched me leave for work at the same time everyday and robbed me while i was at work. i didnt work many many many hours to pay for something just so some scumbag can take it from me. so now im in the stiqs where no crackhead wants to be.
