If you will be living there for three years buying is the best idea and I would say it is worth it. You woudl be using your payments to help build equity in an asset instead of helping a landlord build his equity. Of course, new is better but if you find something older have the systems checked by an inspector so you know if you can live with them and whether or not you will be strapped with a big expense to repair or replace something during the 3 years. - Thu May 8 2008, 22:02
Norlin, try this website.
http://www.thda.org/Programs/Mortgage/hmownshp.html. You will find answers. THDA has several programs for first time homebuyers and they help with downpayment and/ or closing costs with grants. You will be required to attend some classes in order to participate. They will also help you find a lender who participates in their program. Many do so that should not be an issue. Call me if you have more questions there are other programs. I will be happy to help you

They are good subcivions to buy in. Lenox Village is still growing. You should however, consider traffic .Perhaps you could visit the area one morning and see if you can live with the traffic, if there are issues to consider and what solutions exist - maybe other routes to work, if that is an issue for you. Let me know if I can help you with your choice. Where do you live now? - Thu May 8 2008, 21:33
Both great areas but it depends on the price range you have in mind and the type of construction. Where you will be working is important and the loan approval that you will get. Talk to a lender then find a Realtor to get the advice and help finding a good fit for you and your family. - Tue May 6 2008, 11:39
Talk to a lender with whom you can share your financial details and they will be able to tell you if you can qualify to buy a condo. Rememebr that some condos have monthly fees so you need to be careful when choosing one. A small house may also meet your needs. Your first step is to talk to a lender. There are some programs for first time buyers too.. . - Tue May 6 2008, 11:31
Over the years I have helped divorced clients to buy and sell their homes. I recently rearned a new designation, RCS-D(Real Estate Collaborating Specialist-Divorce). Kelly Lise Murray, who developed the designation, calls divorce real estate "the elephant in the corner of family courts nationwide" because most of the time, the largest asset most divorcing couples own is not valued correctly and is usually not considered soon enough in the divorce process. RCS-D designates are trained to work on behalf of divorcing couples to determine value and market the property so that the couple gets the highest value for the house - more for divorcing couples to share.
