My husband and I are tired of living in apartments, we really want to get a house. The rent for apartments keep going up and we just want a place of our own. We don't have money saved up yet for a down payment. We were thinking about using his pay checks to pay the bills and I would put mine in a savings account. We were thinking that we could probably save up a few thousand in a few months, but we don't know if that would be enough, or should we wait a year before we buy a house? Did you have money already saved up before you started looking for a house? How long did it take before you bought you first house? What steps did you take on getting prepared for buying a house? What mistakes did you make and what advice can you give us?
