So we just got the RFO, or request for orders, so hopefully we will get the official golden ticket, aka the orders, some time early next week.
In the mean time, Chris and I have been busy looking at houses online, comparing layouts, price point where are comfortable (figured in taxes and insurance), features we want vs things that are must haves and have narrowed down an area where we want to live: Harker Heights.
We also picked a Realtor that many people have recommended which reassured us and the Realtor pointed us in the direction of a VA lender who has 34 years of experience writing VA loans.
I am road trippin' it to Texas in a few days to house hunt with a friend in the ECCC that is not only from Austin but just came from Fort Hood, double score.
Did I mention she is a good time?
I just hope we actually do some house hunting while we are down there, hehe.
Our first stay is shot since it's our travel day and after 11 hours in the car, we will be beat, so that leaves us with three full days and our agent said we could probably see a dozen houses in a hour, good deal!
Chris and I discussed with our agent that we aren't desperate to buy. If we don't find something we love in our price range we aren't signing on the dotted line and we will start our search for a rental property.
Fingers crossed, y'all.
