I want a house! 4 hours ago

My bf and I have been together for 7 years now and we have lived in our apt for going on three. We are soo ready to get out of this apt and get a house of our own but with the economy the way it is, they aren’t giving us any money thanks to our poor college kid credit.



$25,000 2 days ago

So, Kris and I are going to save up 25k from now until next year. We’ll see if we reach this goal.



Own a house 2 weeks ago

I would like to own a house with full furniture.



Be Patient 2 weeks ago

We looked for almost 2 years for a house that suited our needs, and met our budget. It’s not so much that we were picky, but we kept being outbid by investors purchasing rental properties. Finding the right house took the most patience. Escrow went by in a heartbeat. From beginning to end it took us 3 weeks to close – 2 weeks sooner than we had expected. It threw off the 30 days notice to our apartment complex, as well as the utilities. Be patient, and be ready for anything once Escrow begins.



서울 도심 가까운 곳에 단독주택을 짓고 싶다. 1 month ago
아파트보다는 단독주택으로 서울 중심에서 가까운 곳에 – 서점과 도서관이 가깝고 내 학교와 가깝고(서울대, 연세대) 직장과 가깝고 체육시살이 가까운 곳에 집이 있으면 정말 좋겠다. 일단 내가 묵을 곳이 있으니 서울에 터전을 잡고 살기에는 문제가 없지 않은가. 종로에서 인왕산 오르는 기슭을 내려다보며 저 쯤에 내가살 좋은 집 하나 그려본다. 또 저멀리 관악산 기슭에도..
그런 집 하나 지을려면 땅값과 건축비 포함 십여억은 있어야 할 터인데 아직 재정이 부족하다. 일년 단판승부다. 공부에 최대한 집중.

The "ultimate" goal 2 months ago

Aside from finding my soul, owning a house has topped my list of deep desires for longer than just about anything I can remember!

If someone offered me the career of my dreams along with instability at home for the rest of my life… or… the house of my dreams along with never really having a career… then I would probably end up agonizing forever! ...And I would be sorely tempted to take the house!

Of course, I know that a material object like like a home could never measure up to pursuing a career in the area that I’m most passionate about. At the same time, a house symbolizes so much more than just a nice place to live! I want a place that’s mine and my boyfriend’s and no one else’s, that no one can ever take from us! I want to know that I have a stable, permanent home where I can live in peace and be left alone if I want to be, or share with everyone in the world if I want to, because it’s my house.

To me, owning a house simultaneously represents freedom and security. You never have to worry that you won’t have a roof over your head or a place to come back to. And that frees you to pursue your dreams so much more easily! Affgkh, I want a house so badly!

Unlike a lot of people (okay, most people, I think), I do not ever want to save up to make a down payment on a house and qualify for a mortgage. I want to buy a house, period. As in, “here is the full amount for this house up front, done.” (I have also never leased a car in my life and never would!) I also don’t ever want to rent a house. I would rather live a tiny, tacky apartment ‘til I’m 40 and save up every extra cent in the meantime, than move into a house before I can truly afford to keep it. To rent a nicer place would be wasting so much money that could go into savings for a house—something permanent!

My boyfriend and I talk a lot about building our own house. His father used to build houses, so my boyfriend knows a fair amount about what would be involved. I would love to live in a house we constructed ourselves… someday… and if I still haven’t afforded a house by the time that “someday” comes, I probably would consider that option. At the same time, I want a house right now so badly that I would move into just about any place that met only the most basic of requirements—as long as it was ready for me to move into now, you know? So as enriching an experience as creating our own house would be, I see that as a later-in-life kind of project.

Mostly, I just never want to have to worry again about making rent. (Isn’t that what everyone’s after? :) I don’t even care about the making rent part—I know that being a homeowner comes with lots of expenses. It’s just that I hate seeing that money go into maintaining someone else’s building so that I can live there for now, rather than using that money to maintain something that will still be mine to maintain in the future.



Untitled 3 months ago

I have two sons, 5 and 1 old, respectively. I currently own my townhouse of 1400 sq ft, but I feel increasingly the need for a single house. We need more space and the kids need a back yard to play in.

The problem is that my next job is not secured yet. I might have to work somewhere else. Once it is set I will start to look for a house.
There will be choices, the most difficult one will be old house but close, or new house but far, difficult decision to make.



motiv8ed1 Planning REAL LIFE

I want large home 4 months ago

Larger than I actually need but someplace that I absolutley LOVE BEING. A wonderful and airy and spacious home to entertain as well as inspire others to dream the same dream and obtain it (faster than I did)
I want this home to not be a show-piece except to show a peice of my heart & how I feel about people, art, love and live. It will be daring and invitational to the soul and the heart seeking to breathe.
A resting plac to the weary, a haven of the tired a place your very spirit calls HOME! It has a kitchen that screams come and eat,laugh and share!
My livingroom is something rarley seen. a room to come and LIVE! To explore the things that frighten us from obtaining ANY & EVERY aspiration we COULD attain given the opportunity and the WAR ROOM as to how to take down the enemy of our dreams,plans..our very PURPOSE. Enemies such as DOUBT,FEAR,PROCRASTINATION,NORMALITY (Normality is the greatest disease unknown to man)misinformation,apathy,vanity and despair.
The yard surrounding it is at least 5 miles in ANY direction so one can go outside and enjoy OUTSIDE without passing motorist to interrupt the peace. A place where there are few accidental visits but the ones who do, suddenly realize it was no accident @ ALL! Because I accept, that “NOTHING JUST HAPPENS BUT HAPPENS JUSTLY
Come in have a bite,share a story and add to the world a bit of your genius. so, I may share it with others…
A home where no matter who you are you CALL IT HOME.
Because, I want to feel just that as well, For even an athiest would accept this is a house that GOD BUILT.

I’m inviting all who want or feel the need to be there…Can you mae it? I’M EXPECTING YOU!



owning a home 5 months ago

I don’t want anything big, just 2 bedroom, 2 bath with a washer, dryer and washing machine. I hate the laundry mat and i hate not having a garage.



fiancee backed out 6 months ago

He backed out at the last minute, and I was devastated. I don’t know what’s going to happen with us, but I put an offer by myself on a different house today. Fiancee and I are on a break but if we work things out he is welcome to come live with me afterward.

I really want this house I put a bid on! It’s selling for 115K and I am offering the full amount but am asking for a 5,000 credit at closing.
