How to purchase a home
It made me
Grateful 
"Outstanding and so worth it ! Thank you Jesus !"
How I did it: after a second heartfelt breakup with the man I thought was the love of my life... I went through a period of realizing that i was settling for mediocrity. i prayed to God and asked Him to restore me. i went to visit my pre-marital counselor who was also singleat the time, purchased her first home. her story of how she put her furniture on layway speaking her home into the universe.
a year later after looking at only a few houses, i found one i liked, but not where i wanted. i spoke to the builder and he was building new homes in an area i would consider. on december 31, 2006 i closed on my home. a year after my break-up and to think i was going to settle for less.
Lessons & tips: Learn to trust and Believe in God.

Purchase a House

This is long-term, but I have to quit throwing money away by renting. It’s getting ridiculous!
I’m not too picky with what the home looks like, I just want a decent location with a low crime rate.

Wow, I closed on my home today! All I have left now is to move in, and that’s it.

Although I no longer own a home due to a divorce, I know that this is achievable because I have experienced this accomplishment before and no longer see it as and unattainable goal.

My fourth property
2 years ago
Ive purchased 3 homes in my life – this one would be the fourth…With the current mortgage/home crisis, Im hoping developers will realize that the homes are not selling cuz they are not worth the sale price. I would love to be in a somewhat larger home, at least a single family home versus my condo – which I love btw. I would like to make the condo an income property, like a corporate rental or something.
Anywho, I’m going to start putting away for a sizable downpayment – I want to be ready!
