First Home Questions

Wait til after

I probably wouldn't buy new furniture and put it in storage.

Would it be dumb to buy all this stuff and keep in storage before buying a home that way I won't have to be making mortgage payments while trying to pay for these items?

Depends on the timeframe. A few months, sure. It's good to get everything in a row. That ~$75 a month is worth the lack of headache.

the faster you want shite, the more it costs

estimate what you or the thing that Demands better, want will cost you. Then factor that into your purchase price.

don't over extend yourself on the home and then have to sit in outdated squalor.

If you get an eye for old shite, it's a great time, because a bunch of baby boomers are dying and you can deck your shite out with some pimpass 60's quality.

Is there a law that your house has to be fully furnished the day you move in?

you can only buy something before you buy the house if it's:


1. off craigslist
2. from GREAT neighborhood
3. sold dirt cheap

all 3 yes, then grab.

I grabbed a 1920's(lable) dining table with 4 new chairs(3-5 years)....for $100 from a house on LSU lakes.

That IMO is worth it, the other garbage, "I bought 6 years ago for $700, asking $450" frick that!
