We were hoping not to move again until we could buy but the owner is putting the rent up and this house just isnt worth the extra money, our lease is up in 2 months and if we havent found anything we will do a month by month lease...in the mean time seeing what we can find out about buying a home this is what I was told by a company earlier this week
We can lend up to 759k (would not get a house around here that would fit us for that), you will need $85k deposit and 49k in upfront fees....anything over that amount of the house loan you would need to have in savings as well...so if we wanted a house for 800k we would need the extra 51k in savings as well....so just with their figure of 759k we would need a deposit of 134k...tell me how people are buying houses here?
I haven't given up though we will figure something out...but it looks like instead of paying down debt we will be saving to move again 🤬

Why not move out of the area? Compromise on size?

I can't drive due to my dizziness, hubby is older but has hemaphlygic migraines so not sure how long he will be able to drive so we need to be close enough to services that we can walk or use a gopher (hubby) and not just be reliant on our daughter.
