Obviously, anyone posting in here has some amount of interest in real estate, and that interest is probably centered around buying & owning it. There are a myriad of reasons for this, and everyone has their own. So, what drives your compulsion to buy? I suppose that this could somehow turn into a debate with people tearing up others' reasons, but the intent at this moment is to just try to get a feel for what motivates people with an above-average interest in it. I say above average because I figure that the average buyer does their "research & learning" by being told things by their RE agent, rather than spending lots of time reading on sites like this.

For me, my reasons for wanting a SFH & worrying (probably too much) about it are, in no particular order:
1 - Garage as a workshop for a)loudspeaker building & b) woodworking
2 - Garage for car projects
3 - No attached walls...for making proper use of reason 1a. A 150lb subwoofer that hits -3dB at 12Hz is what some family members have nicknamed "the lease-breaker."
4 - A yard & long-term residence for pets (cats, probably).
5 - A yard & long-term residence for kids (GOD HELP ME IF I CHOOSE THIS SOMEDAY!).

So, what kind of RE do you want to buy / have you bought, and why? If you happen to be an audio geek, you are required to identify yourself!
