I live in a studio in SoCal , so VERY small with no parking or garage lol

[@igxose]

The people in the apartments above me are very musical. Every afternoon around 4 someone plays the piano, thankfully they are not bad at it and it has become a pastime of mine to read and listen to them. Sometimes I hear a guy playing the guitar and singing though it comes from a different direction. He could be worse, though has woken me up from a few between shift naps.

[@FrolicAndCourage]

So it’s almost like you have a mini concert every afternoon, Gxose! I’m thankful your neighbors are not bad and you can read 👏🏽

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Awesome, happy to help QueenDee!

[@leklekjasmine416]

You read my mind lol. I've been wondering about this for a while now and I really want a townhouse one day lol. Could you do a video on average townhouse prices and average HOA fees ? Thanks

[@FrolicAndCourage]

I’ll see what I can do, Lex! Average townhome prices could be all over the place but average HOA fees...they are a bit more standard 👍🏽 stay tuned!

I moved into my 1st town home after living in a town home/apartment I love owning it makes you feel like you can do more with owning your own house it's a different feeling than renting but I do miss the maintenance and not worrying it's not worrying if something goes wrong but but I'm in a new construction also so you can save her when things come up it's really nice to have a 2 car garage I lucky Because my town home has a very long driveway we can fit including the garage can fit 6 cars Whereas the building next to me and the ones across the street you only could put one car 2 cars next to each other in the driveway so I have the biggest driveway love way love the feeling of owning also renting is nice but love the privacy like you said people aren't in your business Or Certain people that have habits that are not acceptable around children if you know what I mean plus plus a better quality of people when you own

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Yes, Jenny 👏🏽 nothing like owning your own place!! Great insights!

[@Lillean]

Dose this go for leasing a town house too?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

It sure doe 👍🏽 but the landlord determines if they will pass any of the fees to the tenant.

[@OnyxYTs]

I’m almost 16 and soon im planing on having my own living space by the time I’m 20 so how much money should I have before even buying the town house

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hey OnyxYTs, what an awesome goal - that's amazing! 👏🏽We saved before we put money down on our home and the amount varies by the loan type, location, and type of house you purchase (among other things). I detailed all of the costs we had to pay in this video, so feel free to check it out to get a ballpark of how much to save and when those amounts may be due: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ2we2epo6uSqJo

Where are these Town houses are? Are these in Calgary???

[@FrolicAndCourage]

In the U.S. 😊👍🏽

[@ShaguftaZaidi-i1z]

I personally like town house. It private and has no one tellling you what to do etc.

[@BRANDON_MALVEAUX_]

we’re talking renting a town home did you leave that out

[@valeriegriffith3415]

One day I will be out of debt I'm working on it great advice

[@FrolicAndCourage]

It will come sooner than you think, Valerie 😊🙏🏽 Keep pressing forward!!

[@valeriegriffith3415]

@@FrolicAndCourage yes I will thank you very much say hello to hun for me

[@naomirison2493]

So if I live in a rented townhouse do I have to move if the owner wants to sell it? Like living in a rented house

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hi Naomi! In sum, yes. If the owner wants to sell the property you’ll have to move to a new place (unless they sell it to you!) They should give you some type of notice, but yes, you’ll have to find a new spot to live.

[@naomirison2493]

@@FrolicAndCourage well as far as stability I would go with a apartment

[@RandySoWavvy]

@@naomirison2493 a lot of townhomes for rent are usually owned by companies the same companies who own apartments. Unless you specifically rent from a private owner you’ll be just as secure as with an apartment

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Totally agree!

[@19powpow91]

Girl do you work from home!? haha, im looking for a new work at home job, let me know if yall hiring LOL :) Great video!!!!!!!

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Haha, I do now! Thanks for watching ash B!!

[@fredarivers8359]

Apartment and townhomes you have no privacy plus your smelling other neighbors funk

[@FrolicAndCourage]

"Smelling other neighbors funk"... whew!! 😂 This made me laugh, Freda! In our last apartment we smelled a LOT of funk, unfortunately. It wasn't funny at the time, but I'm laughing now remembering how upset I'd get at all the smells!

[@ASmith-jn7kf]

I lived in a few apartments and never had an issue with any smells.....

[@FrolicAndCourage]

That’s awesome! I’ve smelt all kinds of smells over the years!
