I want that condo!

Today at work I got a little bored and decided to check our local real estate site. I found a condo in our complex that I want to own! It is almost entirely redone - nice cement countertops in the kitchen, new fixtures in the bathroom, new laminate down in the living spaces and beautiful new carpet in the bedrooms. It's two bed/two bath with a split bedroom arrangement. We currently are in a two bed/one bath. It's a top floor unit (we are currently on the second of three floors). I want it.

We could buy it and rent out the 2/2 because the lay out is perfect for roommates. It would likely be easier to rent out than our current 2/1. It's an extra 200 square foot as well. And it's priced perfectly for our market. There must be something wrong with it.

Our current financial plans include focusing on our retirement accounts and blasting out the student debt we have and preventing the accumulation of more as much as possible. This purchase would make that plan take a huge about face. So we won't do it.

Sometimes I dislike being sensible. It would be fun to be impulsive right now.
