I went to my first viewing a couple weeks ago and just looooooved the house. Found it online and couldn’t resist looking, even though it was a bit out of my target range. Still adored it when I saw it, but decided to keep a level head and not rush into anything. In the meantime, I’ve found out about a big tax credit to buy a house in Roanoke City, and the $7500 federal one that passed and you no longer have to pay back. Sweeeeeeeet.

I’m now looking at a more budget-friendly home that is absolutely darling and just dropped by $10,000 today! Getting started on this whole thing is very fun.
