Buying my first home...

[jjjtronics]

THANKS FOR ALL THE + + + + SUPPORT AND GOOD ADVISE !!!
Well, being 45, I have to think carefully about this.
First, the Bank is not going to allow me too much time to pay it off.
Second, I don`t want to be paying until the day I die, I plan to retire someday.
So, the budget for this, is not much. I have to be realistic, and play it smartly. I will be happy with anything that is close to the water anyways, fancy or not. And, I will still have to put gas/maintenance on the V20 ( $$$$$$$ ), and beer/food on my belly, so I have to be carefull.
I am shooting for 15 years max, which will put me @ 60 y.o. when I finish payments, and that concerns me a lot, but I`m going for it anyways.
I is VERY interesting, that by lowering the amount of years from 30 to 20, the payment diference is around $100.oo, and that is not much, and down to 15 from 30, the diference is about $160.oo, not much still. WHAT A DIFERENCE !!!

As soon as I get home this week, I will start the process, and I promise I will post many pictures. And hopefully I will be living on it this summer.
