Step 1 = Check

I have come to the conclusion that its time to buy a house. No more renting (never seeing the money again) or having to deal with noise complaints. Now I can listen to my stereo as loud as I want and finally utilize my 1000w subwoofer connected to my surround sound.

The first obvious step for any first-time homeowner is to get pre-approved for a mortgage. This step is critical in determining a budget for the new house. I turned to Wells Fargo Mortgage, since I have used Wells Fargo Banking since 1997, and was extremely impressed! Not only was the consultant I dealt with extremely helpful but I ended up getting pre-approved for a 6% interest rate.

The next step is to start looking at housing... Duh! As you can tell I am very exciting and cant wait till Friday when I have a half day so I can go look at houses.
