Since I got back from Texas Luke and I have been trying to make our way up to the Salt Lake City area. It has been everything from exciting to completely frustrating. We looked at apartments and were ill-impressed with what we observed. I could only describe those places as tiny, rundown, smelly apartments. After that extravaganza we both decided that it was time to again start looking at places to buy. We spoke with a family friend at American Lending Network. We found out that with our current situation we qualify for 160,000. Although, we would feel more comfortable getting into a house around the price range of 145,000. The house above is currently listed at 139,900. I believe that is a really good price for what we would be getting. BUT, every other day I go through the feelings that I am not ready to "grow up". The thought of having a mortgage scare the piss outta me. Also, with me just turning 21 our priorities are not quite in the right mind set to go forward with any of this. On top of all that we are looking at needing about 6,000 down to begin with. We have $200 in savings right now and I dont think that I can make that multiply as quick as we would like it to. SO, Luke and I came up with a plan to move in with his parents in order to save all of our current rent money, pay off a few bills, and get back into the correct mind set. The only problem that I see with this plan is that we are not going to be able to move in until Feb, THEN we will have to wait 6-8 months in order to have enough down, THEN we will still need to find the house of our dreams.... PLUS my career is currently waiting on us getting closer to SLC. The reason behind this is that my next step forward is to land a job a Salt Lake City Community College. I really dislike the unexpected and yet I love the options that we have. Long story short... I feel that I am in purgatory for the time being. Yet loving it. HA!
