Buy a House...

Step one: Find a Realtor. Check
Step two: Get approved so you know how much you can borrow. Check
Step three: Find a house.....

It's not as easy as you think.

Nick and I spent this last weekend driving around checking out neighborhoods of houses we were interested in buying. Amazingly, we cut your list in half just because some places were shady or I didn't want to be at home by myself. We then decided to look at some areas up north in Stead about 10 miles north of downtown Reno. These houses are newer but smaller yards. Since we neared it to 10 houses between Reno, Sparks and Stead that we are interested in~ we are hopefully going with our Realtor this weekend to check out the insides (and narrow that list even more)!

The best thing our parents thought was as kids were to save our money. We've had several bishops make sure we were doing okay, but they never saw the money we were saving. Becuase we aren't big shoppers, like to go to dinner or really spand money, we are able to (hopefully) get into a house this summer because the prices are right and we saved enough for a down payment! :)

I'll try and keep you posted on the house hunt. Hopefully we will be able to move in this summer before we have to move out of our hose.
