[QUOTE="SSCOBRA03, post: 7985231, member: 7435"] Look for a house you can afford, not what a morgage company says you can afford. When you make a bid on a house, make sure that the realtor understands the bid is for a house that has no problems and needs no work. Pay the coin for the inspections (House Inspection, Termite Inspection, Plumbing Inspection) before you sign on the dotted line. I went through Century 21 for my VA Loan. You can (or could in 2004) finance everything and move in with little money down. Also, try for a fifteen year loan. Try to buy one of the smaller houses in an area. You do not want the biggest house on the block. Find out what the other houses in the area are going for. Don't be afraid to low bid the owner. Be willing to walk away and look for another house. There are deals out there. Look at the neighbors of the house you want. Are there barking dogs? Do they have a lot visitors on a Friday or Saturday night or every night? Do they park in the street? Do they maintain there yards and houses? Is there a lot of traffic on the street? There are a million things to look for. Take your time. [/QUOTE]
