I think I'm gonna start seriously looking to buy a house. I've never owned a home before ....
All this mortgage crisis stuff has me kinda scared however ... I think ultimatley where I'm at it would be an investment, if I kept the home for 3 years I'm pretty sure I could get out of it what I bought it for. Anyways, what advice would you all who have recently bought homes give me? I'm pretty much looking to get a cheap home, I am not gonna buy one brand new .... I mean even homes built 40 years ago are going for 200k here in Vernal right now. Any advice? -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

IMHO I would never buy a brand new home. Simple reason being:
Older homes were built by craftsmen, tradesmen, professionals, people that worked hard and cared. Newer homes are built by the dozens by illegal aliens and "community designers" who buy bathtubs & water heaters by the hundreds to get the cheapest price. Granted, you can have a newer house built well, but it'll cost you, and it's harder to find/have built. |
