you clearly didn't address the commitment issues in the original post, just hinted at them.
i feel like in order for your friends at goEMAW.com to give you the best advice, we need more info about you.
age?
relationship status?
pets?
i also feel like if you have to ask you friends at goEMAW.com if you should buy a house, then you should probably not buy a house.
I'm not asking IF i should buy a house, just asking for some advice here. like you know, how the whole home buying things work, what to look for in a realtor, etc...
age: late 20's
relationship: in a relationship (soon engaged
)
pets: one dog
area: must be in KCMO, unfortunate
price range: ~150-175
want to buy now because my lease on my sweet downtown loft is up and I hear "interest rates are low" although I don't fully understand what that means.
also does that 20% down rule still apply, if so I will be renting again.
