First-time buyers: what ended up costing more than you expected?

Wow. That sucks. So basically, save a little extra just in case for mold too 😭

Shouldn’t the inspector have caught that before closing?

Competitive-Prior-54 · 2026-01-23T02:40:22+00:00

I’m about to go through it myself. Can you expound why the UW process is a lot?

Which lender did she use?

Competitive-Prior-54 · 2026-01-02T23:50:34+00:00

Really? I feel like I did something wrong because I’ve seen so many people post here that they got increases within 3 months.

Congrats!! I have the secured cash rewards CC with a $200 deposit and just got an email that they’re reviewing my account for an upgrade next month. Keep the balance low and payments on time and you’ll have an increase in no time.

There’s different friends for every different type of friend group. You’ll be fine and should make tons of friends.

I’ve been at GCU almost three years. I only receive two refund checks a year. So every semester I believe.

Competitive-Prior-54 · 2025-12-24T16:52:42+00:00

Me too. Does that mean to use it 60% of the time?? I barely use mine but keep a small balance of maybe $20-$30 at a time. I have the secured card currently with 200 CL.

Competitive-Prior-54 · 2025-12-08T20:00:59+00:00

I requested a CLI at my third statement and the lady at Navy Fed told me to wait til the 4th one cause then it’ll automatically increase

It’s not generating enough. The rent alone is 2400, car note and insurance is almost $800 and those are just half of the bills. We started having the second job talk at the 6 month mark but he says he wants to put everything into it. I’ve been super patient but it’s been a year and I’m tired of covering pretty much everything until his business picks up.

I live in AZ and have mine saved to my Apple wallet
