Let The House Hunting Begin

We are currently living in male student housing where they open up some of the apartments to families over the summer. The rent is super cheap and we figured it would be a great way to save money and find a place that we really like, ideally find a home to own!

Last week we spoke with a realtor to help us find a place within our budget and he told us that we would need to be preapproved for a mortgage before we could start shopping for a home. Yesterday we were approved for $130,000 (which we decided would be our maximum purchase price). The lender told us that we were easily approved because both my husband and I have high credit scores.

I am so excited to start shopping around for a home!
