Jump in the fire! We found a house, made an offer, and closed! Ups and downs abound, a few weeks late- but done! Supposedly it went smoothly, it was still emotionally exhausting. I’ll spare you the details of the buying process; lets cut to the meat of this hush puppy-
Gee, wouldn’t it be swell if 2 friends could go in on a house together? Too bad no sane bank would lend good money to 2 oafs…
These long held thoughts, became verbalized over lunch between myself and my good friend and many year roommate Jon. We are running out of our lease at the place we are renting with some other roommates so new housing is in order. We have noticed rent houses we like in the areas near our place of work seem few and far between, however homes for sale are all over the place. Again, the question of buying a house with a friend has come to mind… is it really that crazy? We consulted google- sure enough, banks are dumb enough to lend good money to 2 oafs like Jon and I.
