    My first house!

    Some of you may or may not know that I will be closing on my first house on Friday! Me, my wife and sons are all very excited!

    If you are looking for a real estate agent or a mortgage company, let me know, the people I worked with are awesome. They worked with me for approximately 2 years to get us this! IT has been such a great experience even though it can be tough!

    Somehow the statement that they were great and they took 2 years...is not adding up to me.

    Congrats on the new debt!

    Re: My first house!

    It took me about 5 years to close on a house. I had several false starts and wasn't ready to settle for just another overpriced, undersized house on a postage stamp. In the end I was fortunate to find a realtor willing to put up with me. I didn't realize how lucky until after we closed.

    It happens.

    If you're dealing with a short sale, it could take that long, easily...

    Re: My first house!

    It took a long time because after my divorce I really didn't plan on buying anything...so I didn't really care about my credit situation....but after meeting the right women, getting married and planning a future it all came together. Don Clark at LYC mortgage gave me all the guidance I needed to get my score high enough to get approved.

    We made the actual offer in mid Dec and are closing approx 45 days later, which is typical.

    We bought a foreclosure for a wicked good deal basically they are giving the house away.

    You live across the street from my desktop technician.

    Our boiler control (specifically the hi-fire limit) blew the day we signed on the house. No big deal, you'll get used to expensive surprises!

    Re: My first house!

    Congrats, I actually closed on my first place as well on the 27th. Granted it was a condo and not a house but like you it was also a foreclosure that was a pretty good deal in my eyes.

    Your mortgage broker helped bump your score? General advice or specific?
