How old were you when you bought your first house?

27 years old. Fixer upper - I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Love the area and I still own it.
 
I was 29 and renting a little 608 sq foot cottage with my new bride when the landlord offered to sell it to me with 2 lots for $65k. $2500 later I was a homeowner. Still here, but it’s about 2200 sq feet now.
 
Bought my first one in 83 for 69,900. It was a small rancher with one bathroom on a 1/2 acre in Taylorsville. We had 3 sons shortly after that. It was ok for a while then they started growing fast and playing sports. And...they started to stink so in 93 i bought a bigger house with 2.5 baths on 2.5 acres, built a nice shop on it and still here.
 
We got married when I was 28, and instead of a distant, expensive honeymoon, we bought a lot, and started building our home at 29. We moved in a year later, as building, and working full time took some time. 38 years later, we're still hanging out there...
