I have a bit of updating to do...
Mike and I got pre-qualified for a house in November 2009. We didn't want to miss out on the tax credit, so we started looking for homes right away. We put 2 offers on two other homes and they didn't go through for different reasons.
In January, we had tuition of $2200 and we weren't sure that we could buy a home. We began looking at luxury apartments. I really felt like we couldn't miss this tax credit. Interest rates were at the lowest they have ever been. I started researching other down payment options. Lucky for us, I found Utah Housing!
Utah Housing offered a no-down payment program, where you pay your down payment through a loan on a second mortgage. It adds about $30 a month to your mortgage payment.
As we continued looking, we weren't having much luck. I was beginning to get discouraged. Everything we liked was out of our price range. Alot of the homes we looked at were projects. Then one day....
We found our house!
These are pictures that were taken after our offer was accepted! (A lot has changed since then!)
