house shopping

today we officially began house shopping, in which we viewed homes and got "officially" preapproved with USAA.

one of these was awesome.

the other dissapointing.

Kelly and I looked at 8 houses this afternoon in the north area and I liked many of them, some of them a lot.

But the bank isn't approving us for as much money as we thought, so we sort of have to start from scratch.

But I'm hoping after putting some time into searching in our new price range online that some of the houses I saw online as great prospects, will turn out to be actual great prospects when we get to see them.

This is such a crazy process all with the deadline to get the tax credit, plus all the stuff going on with it being tax season and both of us with our jobs.

In the end, we think it will be worth the investment, though we may have to liquidate some of our assessts a little sooner than expected to help us with this investment.

We are so excited to house shop and possibly move and expand!


Kelly has been great- she is Kathy's sister, plus she just started with Remax after spending time in New Home Sales (new developments, model homes etc). It's nice to have someone we know in the business for sure!
