Home Buying

[dcgrumpy]

--------------------
I'm totally confused now.. How can you be considering a move to Vermont and not have transportation to get around? Did I miss something somewhere?

I would think Vermont was a little more isolated than Brooklyn

Oh, I didn't realize you were looking in Vermont...I would rent a while, there, before purchasing. A friend moved to New Hampshire and rented for a year before buying. She loves it there. Good luck, again!

One thing you can do is begin your documentation--compile your rental history into one document--including the reasons you listed here for relocating.

Get all of your bankruptcy information together as well.

You can prepare to buy a home well before you ever intend to by one. Gathering all the documentation now that you will need when it comes to closing on your home--will make it less of a headache later.

My sister declared bankruptcy a couple of years ago. She and her hubby are buying a home (it is being built). But I think they did it just on his income as the bankruptcy was before their marriage (jerk of a first husband that necessitated her declaring bankruptcy as part of their divorce).

Okay,
here is the whole saga...
When we got engaged, we moved to Brooklyn and loved the apartment but it was infested with roaches and after a year, we had to leave. We moved to a townhouse in Piscataway NJ and my husband was really unhappy there so after 2 years we left. We found a great place in Hoboken that was a 2nd story walkup. I got pregnant with PJ and realized I couldn't carry a stroller up 2 flights of stairs so when PJ was about 4 months old we moved again. We actually moved directly across the street to an apartment on the first floor. Great building, found out I was pregnant with Brian and then the landlord tells us that he's either selling the building or tearing it down and we would have to go month to month on our lease.
Our lease was up April 30th and I was due with Bri May 6th. There was no way I was moving that close to my due date so we moved again back to Brooklyn April 1st.
PHEW...None of our moves was beacuse of the bankruptcy, but more beacuse of circumstances.
We are looking to move once again beacuse you really need a car where we are. I can't walk anywhere to do shopping and I'm really isolated.

I was confused because I thought you were tired of moving due to the bankruptcy. I wasnt sure how the two were related.

P.S. I wasnt asking for a life story.....
