Buying a house iLike first of all you got to get a good education and hopefully a good job.......otherwise you will never own a house.........the you must work for possibly 5 or 6 years until you got a nice size down payment...........then you buy a house that is within your means ( not to fancy house of your dreams)..............then you work hard for another 10 years and be sure to pay the max on your mortgage anniversaru date............the thing to remember about buying a house is ( there aint no free lunch) only by working hard and saving can you reach financial security over long term.
