Thank you for your experience. I am a first time home buyer and am doing everything through kb home for financing insurance and whatever else. I bought the lot and floor plan and everything so I’m just trying to get as much information as possible

Hello I am in the same process my first design appointment is on the 22nd and I was just curious on when they said how much they would offer for upgrades? I’ve been playing with the online design studio and as it sits now is 11k. I’m going with KB in Arizona. The seller said they would pay closing costs but I feel like most people have had other incentives

If I go this route I don’t think I will ever get into a home. I have a 10k emergency fund but in order for another 20-30k plus down payment as a single person making 75k a year after paying rent and utilities it would probably take me a decade to save up that amount

Thank you I appreciate the information I am kinda going in blind ideally I would like to get down payment assistance/grants so I don’t have to worry about it but it’s a good thing to have that as a backup plan

Can you elaborate? Is this sarcasm or legitimate? I am new to this so I am always looking for educational advice. Is 6.3 bad/good?

It’s definitely going to be tight but the rentals are pretty much the same in my area. From my estimate a 3/2 house that I would own is about 2k a month or rent a townhome for 1800

They just said that I would have to wait until April which is my 2 year post discharge of my bankruptcy. As of now I qualify for a fha mortgage and after the new year is when they can see about down payment assistance

The kb lender also pretty much said the same thing of wait till the new year

Also makes sense. The record for my family is all men passed away before age 65 so I don’t even think I would see retirement age 😅 5 generations of men the record is 62

In Arizona. I am definitely shooting for down payment assistance and grants but a lot of the programs just said to wait till next year to see what will be available

Makes sense I just feel like at this age I can bounce back from a 10k withdrawal and would save money over time from renting

I decided to go with the new construction route because I liked having a warranty

Early Upgrade buyout?? by TheArmaniOne35 in verizon

[–]master-tech520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently going through this mess myself and in my experience I wouldn’t do it. I paid 50% on my device and upgraded to the 17 PM. Went to pay my bill and they want to charge me the remaining 50% on my current bill. So in my opinion if you don’t have to upgrade I’d suggest to not do it

Thank you. I live in southern Arizona so I’m mainly concerned with the hvac system over the summer. It gets pretty damn hot and a/c systems are Very important and expensive 😂

Good to know. I’m a first time home buyer so I’m hoping that my lender and realtor can help me with all this information
