Owning a house has become more important than just simply having a place to live, or making a sound real estate investment. Buying a house is a sign of entering into adulthood. It shows responsibility and commitment of settling down. It conveys to your family and friends that you have left your “live anywhere I please and don’t worry about it” attitude behind. It is a sign of growing up.

You wake up one day and find yourself thinking that you want to paint your room blue or have a garage where you park your new car. You realize it is time buy a house. The only problem is, you don’t know how one goes about doing this.

That is the exact situation I found myself in. When I was 18, I desperately wanted to buy a house, not because it was a good investment but because I wanted to have a place to call my own and the freedom to paint my walls purple if I wanted too. I wasn’t able to fulfill this dream for 8 years. I rented for awhile and tired of sterile white walls and small-boxed in cookie cutter rooms of apartment complexes. Once I convinced my husband that buying a house was essential to our future happiness, we were ready to go and look for a house or so I thought. I knew enough about the home buying process to be scary.  Owning your own home is the American Dream, but you need to be prepared for its challenges.
