In the midst of buying a home

So let me tell you why owning a home is the American Dream; it’s because getting there is a nightmare! The home buying process has been hectic and I think I saw just about every house I could afford within a 25-mile radius before narrowing it down to the last 3. From there, the neighborhood became an issue with the necessity of needing to walk my dogs twice a day. I don’t want to be walking them in the ghetto after a late night kung fu class. After a house is chosen the fun negotiation times begin. Sigh, then, after that is all said and done, the inspection comes. Seriously, if the seller isn’t willing to work with me on some of the necessities that I need fixed, I have no problem walking away. I can’t afford to be dropping more dough into this if an MBA is in my near future.
