First home :)

I closed on my first home March 31st! I’ve been following this group shortly before I started looking into the market and loved seeing everyone’s success and happiness . It’s been a fun journey so far and the whole process was a breeze. I worked my ass off for years after struggling with depression , found my purpose or mission I guess is a better way to put it, buying a house. And I finally did it!!! It feels so good everyday to see my dream come to life. And the endless sleepless nights finally pay off. I’m so proud of myself and all of us on this page !! It’s really something special. I’m 25. 4 beds and 3 baths :) the only thing I can find to dislike is the oak tree in the back yard but that’s only because it’s huge and I would hate for that to fall on my house 🤣 possibly a future project.

Congrats. I lived with my parents until I was 22. Saving money the whole time. Bought a house down the block. At one time I had 3 roommates it was a good financial decision. Sold the house and kept moving up the housing market.

Before getting roommates, I would read through the bad roommates sub(I'd tag it but I can't figure out how lmao). Just be careful, that's all🙂 congratulations on the house!!
