Theresa and I are starting to search for a new home. We currently own the home we are in. (well, the bank owns it, but we make the payments) She got this house long before we got married.
We want a house that sits on between 1/2 and 4 Acres, 1800 to 2400 Sq/Ft, and a MINIMUM 2 car garage.
Before we go any further, I need to learn EVERYTHING about mortgages. I am a person that will learn everything about a car I plan to buy, to the point I know more than the guy or gal selling it.
This will be no different. I NEED to learn EVERYTHING I can to make sure I am not getting the shaft.
Anyone know of any good books, Internet resources, or advice for me.
A little rundown. House prices we are looking at is about $130,000 to $160,000. $40,000 to $50,000 down payment to keep the payment low. (I HATE monthly payments and will do EVERYTHING to get it paid off ASAP)
