How to own a home
It made me
Incredibly grateful
 "Home sweet home: a dream come true!"
How I did it: I saved up for 10 years, and invested a nest egg that my mom had given me until I had enough for a down payment. It took 5 months to find the house of my dreams, but here I am. I am so incredibly grateful. Lessons & tips: Don't go for a short sale unless you are ready to be VERY patient. (I waited two months just to hear that it would take another 12 weeks for them to even *look* at my offer...that's about when I gave up and found another house that is ten times better.

How I did it: - get pre-approval for loan- get a real estate agent- go look at properties in your price range- put in offers- cross fingers Read how I did it…

How I did it: It helped us that we came into a large sum of money that enabled us to both put a nice down payment and some money for refurbishing and landscaping into our new home. Thanks Grandma! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I was lucky to find a partner that is likeminded and that I didn't have to sell in a buyers market. Look around and don't compromise too much. You'll live with this decision for a long while. Make sure you are there for the inspection and make sure you understand where the property lines are. I suggest a staked survey. Make sure you add all the things you think are reasonable as conditions of the sale and NEVER PAY CLOSING COSTS, especial… Read how I did it…
Eliza Marie is feeling great!
well i wasnt able to close today like we had planned. the bank wanted a clarification on a student loan thingie.. but we should close on Novemeber 30th. I am really hopeing that this is going to be done… its been a long process. i know it could have been way worse but… grr.. it could have been way better too!

I got preapproved… and well.. the exciting part is that I put in an offer to a house that I love!!! Ok so the offer is super low but who knows.. they can say no right or they can say YES and i could get an amazing deal! but.. I am trying to not put too much emotion in right now… Its a waiting game now.

I’m not a in a full fledged apartment yet, though I did live in a corporate apartment for 4 months 2 years ago.
I’m kind of inching toward my own place. Not really because I’m that co-dependent, but due to finances.
That, and I plan to study abroad in the spring next year.
Afterwards I’m going to probably move to Florida and move into a “split” room situation until I manage to save enough up so that I get my own car/place.

Owning my own home is something of a raison d’etre for me. I’ve always liked making my own space comfortable and feeling that it was my little haven.
So I’ve decided that losing out on my dream of owning my old family home is no bad thing after all. It was really upsetting but I’m trying to turn it into a positive. It’s not by the sea and my ultimate dream is to own my own house by the sea. So I’m going to focus on that and see what can be done to move towards that goal.
Of course budget is an issue but I’m going to start by doing a bit of research – that won’t cost anything.

I owned a home but then this recession hit and I lost the house and now I am moving to cali and I plan to take advantage of the recession by getting a house on the cheap.
