Thank you for the tips. I will for sure be going to check out those books. As for some of the questions/ points you brought up. I think we are in a MUCH better place now than what we were 2 years ago. We have no debt other than student loans, between DH and I our lowest credit score is 790, and DH is in a VERY secure job now (he had just started there when we were looking before). We have been budget tracking with Mint for 6 months now. We know what we need to work on we just wernt. We have a great broker we will go to again. We are paying ourselves first with savings now (we wernt before). We are looking for houses with a max of $170. We know we can be comfortable at that amount.
Thank you again for the help!
PS I have been lurking here off and on for the last 2 year and you gals are AWESOME!
