buy a place

I just enrolled me and my partner in a 1 session real estate for dummies course. Neither of us know anything about buying a place, so I at least want to be informed about what I’m doing. Im amazed at the number of people who know nothing about getting a mortgage or property investment before investing 100s of 1000s of dollars in a place.

Its on the 31st of January.

I confess that this is something that hasn’t been high on my list of priorities. Getting a mortgage, owning a place, etc. Realistically these days, homeowners don’t own their home, the bank does. Rent money might be dead money, but so is interest on a home loan.

But my partner wants to own a home and wants me to want to. I ‘m not one to bow to pressure much, but I suppose I’m 36 years old and not getting any younger. If I do it right then it is probably of benefit.
