I have never in my life had to go through such a struggle in order to get what I want. I'm a firm believer in working for what you want in life in order to gain the ultimate satisfaction from my efforts, however purchasing my first home has only become what I like to refer to as "the new home buyer chronicles" since the task seems endless. I'm still waiting right now to receive the final approval on my new home. My husband and I have been sheading all kinds of blood, sweat, and tears in order to make this purchase a reality...but like they say "Patience" is the key! It's been over 5 months now and finally it's crunch time. We will get our answer hopefully today. I can't believe we had to provide the mortgage company with all sorts of stuff..like..explanation letters, budget letters, bank statements (proof of having $2000 dollars or more in my bank account in one month), pay off all our debt on our credit reports, get zero balance letters or confirmations, etc. and all I can say is that I will never purchase another home until maybe the next 15 to 20 years later. This experience has been very traumatic for myself and my husband even if we are still in our 20's.
The saga continues...
