When to buy a primary residence

[Ryan Hoer]

Good evening,

For those who started out househacking, when did you decide it was time for a primary residence that you planned on living in for 5+ years. My wife and I househacked our first duplex in 2014 and bought our second househack (house with a detached apartment) in 2016. I'm looking to buy again in March or April of 2018 and cannot decide whether to buy an investment only property and stay in our current househack which is a bit small (we now have two small children) or buy a house we can comfortably grow our family in. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ryan
