Based on my conversations with lenders yesterday, and looking at realistic down payment requirements that we’ll face, it appears The Wife and I will not be able to purchase a home of our own until about April. That’s good news for my parents, who are anxious to have good tenants for The Estate at Louisville. And aside from being godawful hot due to the air conditioner’s recent malfunction, The Estate at Louisville is a very nice place to live.
One lender thinks we could qualify for a special loan and get us moving sooner — so maybe we can get into a place we own faster. As newspapers say, “story developing.”
But for now, I’m going to focus on a) budgeting for savings towards that eventual purchase, and b) getting a second vehicle with a fairly imminent acquisition date targetted, as in before the end of the month.
