We bought two years after marriage. It was the start of the 80's and prime rate was about 20%. Taxes ate our savings each year, so we had to get creative to manage the down payment. Barrowed 10% from my folks and the sellers carried 10%. We assumed their 1st mortgage and took out a new second to cover the balance. Yes, they gave us 4 house payments each month and those didn't include taxes and insurance. Somehow we managed to survive and things got easier as our income grew. Hang in there!
