Wow I wasnt expecting to get all the "dont move in with your girlfriend" replies, im starting to second guess myself now lol.
Do NOT buy a house together with a GF.
If she wants to house shop with you and give ideas fine.
I don't care how good the relationship is now it is not a smart things to do.
+1 they gave my next door neighbor $250 to use the USAA realtor, bastard.
yeah your loan will be sold, one company had ours then sold it to Wells Fargo, i have no complaints again WF, they have been pretty easy so far, least from what I have experienced. The VA made me get the house under my name alone thank god, so all the resp is mine which is great, no woman can be like "shawwwwty that's my crib too" .
I got mine for $85k, everything with escrow is $640.10 a mth with WF......:rockon:
Whats up guys
Well I have a few questions. Me and my girlfriend have been saving up alittle money for the past few months and we feel like we are ready to try and get a home loan. Were not looking to get anything real fancy ( under 100k ). My questions are:
What are good companies to get loans from for first time home buyers?
What kind of things should we expect to have to pay out of pocket for? Or would getting a loan pay for anything we would have to pay for?
What are the step by step processes in getting a home?
Sorry for all the questions but I am a newb when it comes to this stuff lol.
Thanks in advance

What are good companies to get loans from for first time home buyers?
Wells Fargo has some good programs. I just sold a teacher a house. 2.25% Interest, 3.5% down and no closing costs. Loan process took 3 weeks.
What kind of things should we expect to have to pay out of pocket for? Or would getting a loan pay for anything we would have to pay for? You'll have to come up with the down payment. Everything else is negotiable. In California I can get you in with only .5% down (depending on credit and what not) Idk what state your in btw.
What are the step by step processes in getting a home?
Step 1) Get pre-qualified. Find out what you can afford and what you actually are comfortable paying monthly.
Step 2) Find a home. Get a offer accepted. Open escrow. Loan process starts. Clear your inspections. Appraisal. loan docs. keys.
Step 3) Enjoy.
