How to buy a House

"It took longer than expected, but it was all worth it!!"

How I did it: I lived in the city for a year, after knowing that I'm not, nor have ever been a city person. But I wanted to experience it and I did and I'm glad I did.

But with all of the stimulus packages, mortgage rates, and the simple fact that it's a buyers market, it was an easy decision: I was ready to buy.

There were definitely some unexpected events, but in the end, I don't remember any of the bad things that happened, because now I own my very first home!

Lessons & tips: Be patient. And it's true what they say - when you walk into the right place, you just know it.

Resources: Find a realtor you can trust, inspectors who are honest, a mortgage rep that is reliable, and title attorneys who won't rip you off.

It took me 7 months.

It made me overjoyed
