Jack, I hear NH is the freeist (SP?) state in the country. Where can I find 30+ acres with great views, creek and combination of mature trees and meadows?

I'm not saying it Can't be done. But the point is, why should some single professional be forced to buy a house lower than their ability to pay just because there are overstetched people somewhere else in the country. If singles have to get into "starter homes" all that does, is force them to trade up once or twice and feed this scam real estate transaction business (paying 60K-100K in real estate fees to "trade up" when they don't need to). I'm really surprised at the responses I am getting on this thread to this. You do realize that real estate is a big drain on productivity in the US? ANd the whole system is inefficient? Nobody but the real estate industry wants people to trade up. Most folks would like to buy one house and stay there. I shouldn't have had to pay 90K in real estate fees to get into a house I could have had in 92. Besides, property taxes in CA are frozen from the moment you buy the house. Buy the best house you can at the earliest time is the best approach but not possible due to these archaic rules.
