My topic today is something that made me smile, and I certainly have something to smile about! My husband and I started poking around online back in November at houses to get a feel of what we like, don’t like and ultimately where we want to live. We finally contacted a mortgage consultant to get the ball rolling and to figure out where we stand. Today we got our credit reports back and learned what we are approved for and I must say I am flying high as a kite! I was really concerned in the beginning that already owning a place would make it difficult to get a 2nd mortgage, but because we have great credit and solid incomes we learned we are in a great spot and can still keep our condo (which we’ll rent.) We’re planning to go check out house that we’re in love with in one of our top-choice towns this weekend. We’re toying with the idea of buying a fixer upper and renovating or buying something move in ready. Either way, with the news we received today it has definitely had me smiling from ear to ear!
