Lol I just got done moving... We have things that dont have homes yet, and everything is just scattered in random spots yet until they find the perfect home... But everything is slowly coming together, im almost ready to start finishing the babys room! Im waiting on the crib and changing table though... When we moved we just put all the boxes in the babys room and slowly went through them, now I got all the boxes out of there and gone through, and just baby stuff scattered in the baby room lol... Uuugh im sick of this, otherwise I would help ya move Wink Laughing

We live in a second story apartment now and our downstairs neighbors smoke pot all day long (in front of their 1 year old) and our across the hall neighbors have 6 screaming kids and our poor dog needs her backyard! Plus, we don't really have any fixing up to do that would be hard after we move in. We need to fix some cracks in the kitchen tile and put up a fence, but that's really about all.

Well, I am moving in a year,but the year after that i'll be ready to buy a house. It sometimes kills me how a lot of people rent, b/c they think they can't afford a house. If only they would realize that a mortgage payment is maybe $100 or $200 more than a rent payment, and sometimes (a lot of times) less.

If you buy a $100,000 house at 6% interest and put 5% down ($5000), then your monthly payment, not including mortgage or tax or pmi is $599.55 on a 30 year mortgage. A $200,000 house with the same down payment would be $1,199.10 a month.

Here there is this program where if you do 300 hours of community service/help build houses for habitat for humanity (or something like that lol) and take a 100hr house owning class they will build you a 3br house on a nice sized lot and give you a 30 year loan with 0% interest (yes, for the whole 30 years!)... Kevin is looking into doing it, but thats alot of community service time if you really think about it...

Yea it it, but from what I know, any one who wants to put in hours for you on your behalf can. So if ya'll have a lot of friends that are willing to help, it is pretty good. But down here they'll give you a house, sometimes free but sometimes aroung $10,000. But it is no more than that.

Yeah its a lot of time, but think about it: after 30 years, you would have paid $92,000 just in interest on a $100,000 loan. $10 and hour for 300 hours is $3,000 so you are saving $89,000 over the course of 30 years! Thats a great deal!
