Looking to buy a house for 200K but.....

Okay guys I’m gonna use this to spring board into the answers I’ve always wanted to know, so here goes....

-I’m engaged with an infant child

-I work in law enforcement and make about 100K

-fiancé works for a hospital and makes about 31K

  • we have saved about 10K

  • 10K in a retirement bank of which I’m able to take 50% (don’t wanna touch it)

I have a credit score of 710 and have about 6K in debt (50-150$ minimum payments)

We really want a house in the westchester county area and hoping to get approved for a 200K loan for a small starter home, we only wanna put 3.5%

We qualify for all the First time home buyer programs, my questions are

1) is it possible?

2) what are property taxes? When and how are they paid?

3) can I come out of this with only the 3.5% out of pocket (not including inspections, etc)

4) can I put closing costs into my mortgage?

5) working with a mortgage broker to save me leg work considering my schedule, do you recommend?

6) assuming all the stars line up perfectly, how long before you can actually move in and close?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
