I really didnt think it was possible, honestly. My father starting making suggestions and telling how bad the market is for sellers and I went for it. It's so bad down here, realtors are actually having bus tours for forclosed homes.
Also, when I say I have little to no credit, I mean I have one CC with a $1000 limit and my utilities I was paying at the apartment.

FHA I'm assuming? And I agree... a declining market is an excellent time to buy if you're planning on staying in the house for a long-ish period of time. If you try to sell that house in 2-4 years though, odds are you'll be bringing money to the closing table.

You would be correct on the FHA and will be keeping the house for some time. Need a place for the baby on the way to grow up.
Sorry for the slight thread derail.:happysad:

Well it is too early to preach, if your plan goes as planned h: you should have time to figure out if you guys are meant for each other. Good luck killa cam. But I have seen relationships go sour 5 to 10 years down the road though

Regardless of your situation, it's always good to save cash. So do it no matter what.
