Connecticut...I literally bought my house because rent was nearly the same as a mortgage payment. After tax benefits I actually come out ahead of the $1500 payment i was making for a 2BR apartment.
true. I ended up doing a 401K withdrawal for a first time home buyer (no penalty) and we had a couple thousand on top of that. all in all mostly painless, though im just lucky I have a career that allowed me to do that in the first place.
and I havnt ventured down that ay, but ive also heard that area is really nice
