ok my wife and i are starting to look for a house now that she has her job and is getting paid MUCH BETTER. we have saved but its not a whole lot we figured have something like 5-10% for a downpayment. i went today to just get a quote for a 250k morgage. the dude gave me some crazy ass number asking for 20% down with taxes insurance something he called pre-insurance he said my morgage was going to be 2200 a month. that is half of our monthly income! well almost. i have not spoken to my friend yet but he just got a house for 200k no money down he just paid the closing cost. what did you guys do when you got your first home. we don't want to get something to small because we are in a 2 bedroom house now and we already out grew it, and its just me the wife and a cat! all i want is at least a big 1 car, 3 bedrooms, a living room, family room, dining room, kitchen, and basement. the house we are looking at is just over 2000 sq ft. with 2acr. of land. over where we live that is cheap for 250k. hit me with some insight
