Many may recall years ago (around 2008) I attempted to purchase a home in Oceanside, CA. That home was a quant device that seemed as though it just was mistreated by the previous owners. I didn't understand the process, and I trusted way too much. I learned a lot of lessons about what not to do and swore never to make those same mistakes the next time I was "ready".
Since coming to Washington State I've realized that, though I'm working harder than I ever have before, the opportunity and net cost of living are dramatically different. This year, as a New Years Resolution, I resolved to do two things: (A) graduate college and (B) buy a home. Both are in progress (I told you about Western Governors University), but let me talk about (B), and let's see if I can help you.
