Or maybe they realise that anyone with an incontence

I consider it a bad idea to have a multi-level house without even a
half
bathroom on each level.

But if you bought the house when you were 20....


I am living in my 4th purchased item of real estate. A house purchased
in my 20s would not suit my current needs. I sell and buy as my needs
change through life.


I guess you're one of those who somehow managed to pay off the mortgage
of the 1st three.


Well, yes, we did manage to do that. It wasn't easy when interest rates
ramped up to 17.5% soon after we bought our first home in 1986. First
one took 12 or 13 years, the next bought in 2003 took 3 years and this
one bought in 2013 we never had a mortgage on. We had an investment
property under a mortgage for 3 years and divested ourselves of that
when it became inconvenient in 2003 because we were downsizing and
moving interstate.
