Episode II

Episode II: Find out how far off the mark you are so you know where to tighten up

Just because I am a glutton for punishment (and the short sales and foreclosures look so appealing), I will be meeting with a mortgage officer at our bank to see what kind of pre-qualification letter we could get. Just curious...

A pre-qual will help see if we are even in the ballpark of getting into one of those 1/1's that are <600 sq. ft. or if we can actually find a home large enough for me to work in comfortably. And it seems to be one of those first steps you do when buying a home, something we are learning as we research. 

My husband is anxious to hear about my blogging while he looks up properties, rentals, and maps it out on Google Maps.

Properties we are dreaming of now:

• Rental in the "tiny neighborhood" for $1800/month. It's a 2/2 for 1381 sq. ft. but the neighborhood houses are really close together. Trying not to end up there or in a Granny flat above the garage of a multi-million dollar home in our desperation to make it into the Celebration bubble. **Edit: I am so pretentious.
