So the fun begins...
A little over a week ago I traveled to CO to work and spent a good amount of time looking around. I brought my wife out and we spent Saturday/Sunday shopping some properties. We've spoken to a realtor and also looked around some developments in the Erie CO area.
She's sold and I have my transfer approved. Now we just need to figure out what's next.
Being a young couple this would be our first home purchase. We've agreed on a price range ($200-$300k) and we can definitely afford that. But the bigger questions are:
- What do we ask the lenders?
- What kind of first-time-buyer programs are available?
- We're going to spend a good chunk of cash just moving, can we do $0 down?
And probably every other important thing I don't know about. What else are we missing? What types of hidden fees/land-mines should we worry about? We can cobble a few grand together to cover minor things but really we're relying on our low debt-to-income ratio and good credit (both mid 700s) to help us with purchasing.
Thanks!
Edit: Fixed EERIE to ERIE.
