Purchasing a Home

[blaknoize]

I wouldn't recommend any home buying at only 26 years of age. Unless you have perfect credit score then $10-$15k will barely get you in even financing range for a home.
Unless you are in a career and not just a job position you could lose tomorrow id continue to save money. Right now is a great time to buy a home if you can get a large loan or just pull $100k out your hat. Unless you are married and starting a family right now then id say maybe look into a condo or larger complex just my opinion.

Well I do have great credit and I'm involved in a great career, for clarity I work for J.P.Morgan Chase and if you look at the presence of that company in Ohio, you'd understand a bit more of why I'd even consider a home. I've been on my own since i was 17.5 so I have a pretty good understanding of what is going on with balancing a budget. But NO WAY am I moving into a condo. I want a home.
