lela1026 asked:


I want to buy a home at the end of the year. As a single parent of three I am determined to buy a home b/c I cannot afford the growing rents in my area. I have credit blemishis, and I am currently working two jobs one at 13 dollars PT and another at 11.38 an hour FT. As a single person, will the back evaluate both incomes in hopes to buy a home or is this unrealstic. Will they evaluate court ordered child support ? I recieve about 500 a month for two of my children.

donwillymo asked:


We live in New York and are interested in buying a home like any other couple. Combined we currently make 56,160 annually not including bonuses and o/t (although second job would bring it up to about 62,000). She has a great credit rating and I have mediocre rating but not terrible. Would this be enough to qualify us to buy a home for say $130,000 ballpark, maybe less? Any first time home buyers out there?
Would it be wise to see a real estate agent or is this something I could do on my own?

Me and my fiance’ is trying to buy a home but the thing is he hasn’t been on his job for a year yet. My question is can we get a loan with him being on his job less than a year. We also have 10% to put down on a home and our credit is good.

With current homes prices are skyrocketing, we need to get a 2 or 3 jobs to cover the mortgage payment. Not too mention the interest rate is going up as well. How a family member can buy a home in a decent neighborhood?

I live in a coastal city in San Diego county. I am 5 miles from the beach. San Diego has the highest prices in California.

An average home is about $600,000 and I have seen one bedroom crap houses with no yards for over $400,000.

I live in a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath condo. It is pretty much a regular house (2 car garage, yard, two story, no other units attached, etc.) only my home has a condo ownership, so its less money than a house.

My mother keeps talking about how one day my husband and I will want to move out of our home, but how will that be possible when a home here will make us house poor?

We could rent out our condo, but we would still need a huge loan. Or we could sell our home and put the money towards a new house but then we would still have a loan that is hundreds of thousands of dollars.

How is this possible? How do people afford to buy a home?

I can only see us buying a house out of state since California will bleed us dry!

Any advice?
My condo will be paid off next year. It would sell for over $400,000

I am 25. Single, and looking to move back to my Home state of Utah. I have been in New Jersey for 5 years renting and I want to own when I go back. The option is buy a home or buy a townhome (condos are out of the question, to apartment like). I know all about the fees associated with a townhome. I just wanted to get more opinions. My thought is that I am getting the same amount of SQ feet in a townhome as in a house but for a cheaper price. I am looking at buying a new one so I would be able to customize the interior to my liking.

I live in an area where home owners associations are rampant. My wife and I would prefer not to belong to an association but most homes unfortunately have one. Other than looking for older lots that aren’t subject to an association, is there any way to buy a home and not belong? I don’t really like the idea of not being able to do certain activities without permission (i.e. working on my vehicle, parking a truck in the driveway, using a limited set of colors, restricted fence types, etc…). I’m not looking to do anything crazy (I’m actually fairly conservative), I just don’t want some arbitrary association telling me what I can and can’t do.

tassie - My wife and I have always wanted to visit Australia. Maybe my company will transfer me there (they are going after more international work lately).
Babs - I’m not looking for a gated community. I’m merely looking for a single family home that is on a less traveled road (i.e. not along a major thruway). Most of the homes have clauses that once they are in an association they can not be sold without restricting to be a member. I’m trying to find a way that I can legally purchase the home and not be a member in a home owner association. I am not looking to have any of the services provided by the association (lawn care, pool, etc…). If I wanted any of them, I’d pay for lawn care or join a club. I don’t want it associated with my home. I also don’t want to be told what I can and can’t do with the house (probably the more important aspect of the question).
