Would like to re-fi now, but market screwed us. Upside down for the value of house/loan. Market starting to come back, crappy house next door is listed for 230k!!!! Ugh.

COLDAUDIO, come be my neighbor!
Haha, I would if I could! I'm surprised so many people were able to buy houses in their mid-20's. I'm in my late 20's and don't have nearly enough for a down payment on something that is 250k-ish.

This thread was prompted by my frustration with my increase in rent which was already high. I look around south of Denver and it looks like at a lot of places a 1 BR is going for 1k+.... I really need to stop buying toys and going out and having fun
