I'm getting discouraged in finding a home. The past year I've been hammering away at my debt, saving money, and becoming more responsible for my money. Only to find out that when applying for a home loan i don't have enough "credit" http://countryplans.com/smf/Smileys/default/th_duhhh-1.gif my mortgage Leander actually told me it would look better if i had more monthly bills! http://countryplans.com/smf/Smileys/default/hmm.gif
i was also told it looks bad when i have multiple jobs in a year because it makes me look unstable. well guess what $8.25 is a little bit less then $21.16 an hour and of course that was an opportunity i wasn't going to turn down.
I've all but given up on finding land in Iowa to build a cabin, and have instead been looking for small homes in the country to fix up. I've been living in my parents basement for the past 2 years, and well its just sad i make 700-800 dollars take home a week and i still live here. you would think i could find a place to rent at lest but i have two 80# plus dogs, and so far haven't had any luck with that. not to mention payments on a 100k loan would only be 650 a month, far less then what rent with 2 dogs would be. Just cant cant believe how hard it is to get my own home.
going to try to get pre approved for 70k next week, but that doesn't really help me when there aren't any properties in the area that fit the bill for 70k! just wish i could find land to build a small cabin that i could live in for a few years. at this point id settle for a large tent if i could just call it mine http://countryplans.com/smf/Smileys/default/embarassed2.gif
