He wants to also purchase his own home next year before his wedding, but again has no money for this, actually has a good amount of credit card debt.

Be sure to get an inspection too so that you are not surprised with huge capital expenses shortly after purchasing it.Also unless you have a wedding date set and it is soon I would just put the house in your name.

I'm excited to keep learning as much as possible, and we are probably going to be buying our first property somewhere in Texas before the end of Summer - but its quite a load with the wedding planning happening at the same time!

next meeting is scheduled for Wed, Nov 8th, then Nov 22nd.

You should come to the BWI REI meet up every second weds of the month.

The NEREIA is a really good one in Chelmsford (This coming Wed if interested).

The next meeting is on Weds May 14 at 10am.

FWIW, I'm hosting a meetup on Wed. in Berkeley to compare the costs/benefits of renting vs. buying, and we'll look at factors like appreciation, property tax over time, and inflation.  

Like wedding season is April-October there is also house season.The projects people bought by end of year have been rehabbed and are going on the market.Buyer are like wait..I got this tax refund, let me buy a house.People who want to sell and buy but did't want to move in the cold are all out.Open houses are packed.New investors are out, it's warmish now they want a project.Lending deals are popping up everywhere and much more marketing money goes into lending ads.People start trying to wrap up estates that they didn't want to deal with when it was cold.Snow-bird Realtors have returned from wherever they go in the winter.It's going to get so much worse before it gets better :)So yes more competition but also more deals.
