I also know a mortgage guy, having just bought a house last summer, and the thing that impressed me most about him was when he said, "Yeah, I could get you a loan for xxx thousand dollars, but you wouldn't be able to afford your mortgage payments." The fact that he was concerned about us and not his commission was the reason we decided to go with him. Woah, for a second I thought you were going to say you were moving to Boston.

Now I do have a child and am fleeing the school district. Can I sell in time for school registration or will I be renting in addition to paying my mortgage? And I actually did get some sticker shock when my fridge and furnace went out. I’d had no idea.

But you are right that this is probably a good time to get investing. Check your credit report now and see if there is anything you clean up to boost your score and help you get a better rate.

I’m totally jealous that you have leads on good people to work with! That makes a big difference. Can’t wait to see how this turns out.
