re: Would you buy a townhome?

I own one in BR with the intention of owning it for 6 or 7 years while the kids are in college. We rent one room out to cover the cost of HOA and utilities with a tiny bit extra to cover incidentals. I hope to sell it when we're done for close to what we paid for it or a minor loss. If it keeps the kids safe and I'm not outlaying $2k/month in rent for them I'm coming out ahead in my eyes.
