Honestly you sound like your looking for a place to live, not something that is going to make you money.

And with your 1300 a month, no, your not ready to buy. Between mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, yadda yadda, you can't afford it.

Keep saving, and rent for awhile. Learn your market, what you want, etc before you put your name on the line.

Good luck.

There's a haunted house no more than 1/2 from my current house. Its a rental, and def. very old colonial style. It has one of the quickest turnover rates I've seen.....If its not for rent within 2 months of the tenant moving it, thats a long time.

Its a huge house too.....but again, its vacancy rate has to be through the roof considering I see the for rent sign out all the time

Iraq is going to go an for a long time costing TRILLIONS that we are BORROWING!!

WHAT happened in a few short 7 years under the Administration???

Exactly....we are in alot of trouble, and its only getting worse....
And yet we are still in Iraq, racking up even more debt that we can't pay back.
