All Home Owners Meet Here

I’m originally from Miami! My parents have a home down South and I went to school down there. After 21 I left home and enjoyed living in the city! I lived in Little Havana pre covid then went to work and live in Boston for 3 years which really helped me grow my income. I came back to Miami last year (now working remote) and lived in an apartment in Midtown last year and now this year I’m in an apartment in Wynwood. I have paid a lot in rent ($3500 in Midtown/ $3000 in Wynwood) and want to put this money each month towards a home. Do the homeowners here have any insight on condos they have purchased and what their mortgage looks like each month? I will meet with a professional to get the process started this summer (my current lease ends in February). However, I just wanted to hear from some folks in the community. I feel like a lot of people my age rent but our parents own. When I lived in Boston there were generations of people that only rented - no home ownership in their family. My parents have a 3/2 home with a nice lawn and to think they only pay $650 a month blows my mind. I know won’t have a rate like that but definitely not trying to pay $3500 a month.
