re: Buying a house

Redacted, having 20% down, or a loan where you don't have to pay PMI is the advice I'll give. Buying when the market stinks is a great idea. Buying as early in life as you can is a great idea. And buying a home you can actually afford, that has the potential to increase in value when the market turns around, is a great idea.

Because of new laws, buying a fixer upper or a foreclosure that is not move in ready is not easy if you don't have cash. You would be better off buying a home where you can do an RD loan with 100% financing or an FHA loan at 3.5% down. Homes have to be move in ready to do any type of gov't loans.
