Starting Out and a Little Scared

[Eric Evans]

Hey everyone!

Just now getting started and I am now pre-approved from a mortgage loan company. I also have met with my real estate agent and we spent about 3 hours talking about the type of property I am looking to buy. I am using a VA home loan which means the property has to be essentially turn-key. Although I feel like I am making all the right moves I am still very much afraid of "jumping off the cliff". I'm really only righting this to blow off some anxiety. Someone tell me that everything will be alright please!

@Eric Evans,

From my experience, the opposite is a better way of dealing with problems.    I know stuff is going to break-- and it will be expensive.   The question is-- when?    When you switch from being nervous and anxious that it will go right, to expecting things to go wrong-- it isn't a shock or a scare--it's expected        Swapped out a washer yesterday, fixed a plumbing issue last weekend.. dealing with fixing HVAC now, you just roll with it.. it's a marathon, not a sprint.   

If it's turnkey, you shouldn't have any problems.   Hope this helps!
