We want to apply for a mortgage in June-ish, so I doubt that they will count his overtime even though he can get a letter from his employer  Our monthly debt is only 275 dollars. We are saving up at least 3.5 percent for the downpayment but my father also insists on helping us (bless his heart) (we would like to do FHA) I'm not working right now; however, I am looking for a new job though. I am just not sure what I want to do with my career. So even if I started a new job soon (which I'm trying)....I've been told they won't count my income |
My Dw and I were both 24 when we bought our first property. There is nothing 'wrong' with buying at that age.
I would not buy in any market where prices were very volatile. I would be concerned that prices might drop just as quickly.
