Gameware on College Drive will have plenty of copies, short line(quick checkout), and is locally owned and operated. Doors will open before midnight. We are still taking pre-orders although it's not necessary.

So if I come at midnight I can just walk in and buy the game? I don't fool around with that preorder nonsense

Cornerbacks are rarely the same height as receivers.

Do you know of any apartments or any rental properties that have backyards? Even if it was a small yard it would be better than nothing. I have a big ole labrador.

Ok, so I took a look at a mortgage calculator just as an example...
Terms:
$250,000
30 year
7% interest rate

Monthly payment: $1663
My take home pay per month will be ~$5000
So my monthly note would be about 33% of my pay

I know there are still utilities, home insurance, etc...but does the monthly payment seem reasonable for my income?

Thanks for all the advice guys. It is in Houston, and I actually lived there this past summer in the Heights area. The drive to work from there was north against traffic (quick). I'd like to stay inside the loop, so yea i'll probably have to save awhile. I have a yellow lab so i'd like to have at least some kinda fenced yard...that's why i'm dreading an apartment!

I'm going to make a few trips this fall to look around.

What about letting a friend rent out a room to help with the house note? Good idea, bad idea? Thanks for the responses

:cheers:

Homebuying...fresh out of college

Posted by OTalter on 9/15/09 at 11:25 pm

So I basically have little to no credit, and am graduating in December. I got a great job offer in Texas, and am considering buying a home. How does a person like me get a home loan???

Also, what is a realistic loan amount that I could expect, i.e. what multiple of my salary? (I could post the offer but I don't want to seem like a tool)
