When you get your first house, you've got to stretch a little. I only wish my wife and I bought something a little more expensive when we got our first house, but we weren't all that comfortable with a big chunk of our paychecks going toward a mortgage. As it turns out, we bought a townhouse and sold it 2.5 years later and turned a $140K profit. That's the only way we can afford to live in the house we do now. The sad part is we probably could have gotten my current house for about $200K cheaper if we had sucked it up in the beginning.
