Queen,
I am seriously envious at your $750 mortgage.
I don't know anyone who pays less than double that amount in my area (triple is more common)! I've been shopping for an affordable condo for years and can't find anything under $650k. As it is, my rent-controlled apartment is $1200/mo. and well below market value.

Great article - thanks for posting it.
