Her mom's advice is free. Her money, not so much!CameronBornAndBred wrote:She's recieving lousy advice. What she neeeeeeds to do is borrow it all from Mom!Very Duke Blue wrote:DukePa, you are receiivng great advice. Thanks to all of you for helping our daughter. Love you all.![]()

You're smart to get pre approved/qualified and know what you can comfortably afford before you do much looking. I believe that when you walk into the house for you, you'll know it. You'll be envisioning where your furniture will go and see how you'd use the space.DukePA wrote:We saw the house and really like it, but I don't think this is THE house. We now have a realtor, Judy, a mortgage person, and a banker helping us out. There is an offer on the house, and since "short sales" are like "legal briefs," meaning neither is short or brief, I will wait until I hear back from the mortgage person to find out what I pre-qualify for before making an offer. At least there's time.
In the meantime, Judy feels she can find us something on the island or something waterfront on the mainland in the price range I want. If we go off the island, we can get a lot more house, duh. We're going to look like crazy and plan to find something by February 15th so that we'll have plenty of time to take advantage of the first time buyer's tax deduction which expires April 30th.
I'm feeling good about this and very excited! Thanks for all the vibes! They're helping
GO DUKE!!
