So we got pre-approved for a $130k home loan last week. We are meeting with a realtor tomorrow and the search will begin. Well actually it already has to a degree. We've been looking online for the past few days. There are a lot of house out there way bigger than our apartment for the same monthly payment or close enough to it to not matter.
And thank God for my parents who will be helping with the down payment!
Wish us luck!
God bless.
