How many months before the wedding are you going to look for a place to live if you plan to own?

Re: For those who live at home
I wanna move out before the wedding...and buy a house asap.
neither will probably ever happen b/c there's not enough money ever.

FH and I looked at a house on Sunday with FH's Best man. I liked the house but it needs a lot of work. FH thinks that we will wait until the summer time to seriously look.

Re: For those who live at home
We looked for a bit a year ago but then we decided that we needed more money and needed to get the proper resources for us so we never have to end up in foreclosure or something. FH and I make too much combined to do this so FH did it alone, but the CDC in Centereach is a great 5 month class that is one time a month and teaches you about home buying, closing, lawyers etc. They check your credit score, do everything. I can't say enough about them. Now, FH is done with the course and he gets a grant from Bank of America, gets 3% towards closing. We have been hitting the ground hard looking for a house with the help of our realtor but it's still hard bc our price range is soooo low. Short sales are a pain in the butt and we don't want to start with them. I hope this helps!

Re: For those who live at home
we started looking a while ago but have been looking seriously since january...we found something in feb and then the lady decided not to sell...we have since had our offer accepted on another coop a month ago but have yet to sign a contract. so it can take a while between finding something and actually getting to closing....we are thinking closing wont be until the end of aug or sept.

that is us!
Me too! I'm so worried about the timing, because I don't think I could stand paying a mortgage on a house I'm not living in!! I hope it works out!
