Did you just decide you were going to buy a house and not know anything about the housing market?

A lot of people get 30 year mortgages and pay the house off over 30 years. That being said you could buy a townhouse/condo or something more in the 100k range depending where you live.

No silly. Im just surprised how many 300k houses there are here. Lafayette real estate market is pretty healthy. Im looking more at 160k older housing. Theres some of that around too.
a condo is,a possibility though if its spacious enough.

Ah OK. You could always think about living with a platonic partner or sibling if you wanted to live with another source of income.

Or you could have a roommate and charge them rent to cover some of the mortgage.

Percentages.

Find how much house you want, save what you can afford (5% down is most common) pay off the bulk over a 20 to 35 year amortization.

Don't make the mistake tons of people do and buy too much house. You are in no relationship and have no kids - unless you have parents or relatives to take care of a 300K house is way more than you require.

Space is overrated. Focus on location and value appreciation for your first home. You can worry about raw square footage later.

Yes, DeAndre Levy's beard is in Madden 16

EA Sports is busy unveiling its Madden NFL 16 ratings for the top players at each position. On Monday, the ratings were revealed for the five best outside linebackers in this year's version of the game, and the Detroit Lions' DeAndre Levy made the list with a 93 overall rating. Here are some details on how Levy's rating came to be:

Levy’s still waiting for his first Pro Bowl appearance, but he’s already turned plenty of heads around the league. He starts with 95 Play Recognition, and adds 96 Tackle and 96 Pursuit.

That's pretty solid, and it's a safe assumption that Levy will take the place of Ndamukong Suh as the Lions' top defensive player in Madden. But that's not the most notable thing about Levy and Madden. This is (via EA Sports):

Yes, Levy's amazing beard has made it into Madden. It's unclear if there will be a separate rating system for his fantastic facial hair, but if there's not, that feature should be at the top of the list for Madden 17.

Hit up Dragos Family Restaurant in Sterling Heights. Macedonian owned but they make amazing Burek (and other Balkan foods) served with Kos (cold yogurt). Delicious.

Other than that nothing stood out that I can't get here in Los Angeles. I'll be going back to Michigan pretty soon though, every time I go I hit up Dragos.

Dunkin Doughnuts Coffee (and doughnuts) is pretty good too.

Few Dunkin Donuts in California (if any). I'm not sure I can trace my roots to the time of Alexander the Great.

Larry Foote is from Detroit and played for the 2009 Detroit Lions. He did a commendable job in helping rebuild the Lions after our 2008 0-16 season in Jim Schwartz first season.

yeah I know. I dont need more than a 2 br place ideally. In case company is over or whatever. A townhouse is probably best.

I have some options. A friend of my current roommate is looking for a roommate for example.
