New Here from Alabama
From Alabama and 27.
I've been watching videos, lurking, talked to a loan officer got approved, talking to realtor who's setting me up within the MLS network, though i don't see an advantage to this over zillow, realtor, or any other site for searching properties.
I'm just crunching numbers now, I've got my own place that's paid off, I've got plenty of money for down payments, and just living modestly and debt free. Now time to capitalize on these savings.
Finding the 1% rule in the great neighborhoods is not easy, so I'm running a lot of different calculations at the same.
