My wife has a pre-approval for a property and we just signed a contract for a property.

Well, as much as I wish I could say I'm planning on purchasing the property, it unfortunately isn't in my financial cards at this time (Debt to Income isn't quite good enough, and credit score could use some work as well), so I will unfortunately have to let this beautiful beast pass me by.

@Ashton KarpI am an IT professional for the University of Minnesota, and I buy my wife a $500 HP laptop every five years on Black Friday, because you get a hell of a deal

All I needed was to come up with $50K, so I spoke to my wife about selling one of the first rentals we bought since the markets went up and we owed so little on it.

I am a first time home buyer, my wife and I have credit scores around 780, and about $20,000 set aside for an investment.Does anyone have any advice on financing while unemployed or what direction you would take in this situation.

Purchase price: $75,000 Just bought this beauty and getting ready to put in some hard cash into this one.

@Steve Majors I love that idea and always have, but the wife isn't too crazy about living so close to someone else lol.

I don't have to buy into the vortex/spirituality business to feel the calming and rejuvenating effect of its beauty.

It’s owned by myself, a fellow Marine, and my wife.

My wife and I live in Englewood, FL between Tampa and Naples.
