>if you know the area at all I actually live in Lees Summit, a 90%+ white suburb of Kansas City. Prices though are much cheaper here than the other white suburbs which is what is making me look at buying, but ive always lived in Missouri/Kansas my entire life and want to move at some point
i dont, besides the top corner, the Iowa border, and been to St Louis once

but being from Michigan, everything west of chicago all the way to Tarkio seemed the same, flat with occasional hills, corn, and more corn

and ive heard Kansas is even worse to drive through ( I cant imagine anyplace worse to drive through though)

>>so no, i dont want to be here for 30 years
then stocks are absolutely the way to go, as it can take a few years to sell a house after youve bought one (2 years to buy + 3 years to sell, means 5 years at a house minimum easily)
remember, theres no garuantee that someone will buy a house if youre willing to sell it, even if you want to sell it at a loss

ive heard a good rule of thumb is only buy a house if you want to live there for 30 years or more, but im only 26, so idk how true it is
