Yesterday Christopher and I enjoyed the beautiful Sabbath weather by taking a very long walk. While we walked, we discussed a few options for the future. One of the things we talked about was buying a house. Christopher hopes to get accepted into MC law school for this fall, but if he isn’t offered enough money, he plans to try again for next fall. In the meantime, we know that, God willing, we will be in the Jackson area for another four+ years, so we may as well invest in a house instead of continuing to throw our money away on rent. We figure that with USAA, our bank, we can get a pretty decent mortgage–something equal to or less than what we are paying now for rent. Yes, we will have to pay for the upkeep ourselves, and that is definitely something to consider. The idea of owning a house in Mississippi scares me because I don’t want to be here for the rest of my life. I don’t know how I’d leave my church and few friends, but there are other states I would much rather live in. Owning a house gives us a sense of permanency, and that is scary. I guess, though, because of our wonderful church and friends, MS wouldn’t be such a bad to live after all.

Well in 4 years a home bought today could perhaps be worth much more. Check out what the property value has done in the area lately. Its possible that you get the pleasure of owning your home rather then renting and a hefty starting point for a house when you decide where to live on a permanent basis.
On the other hand the opposite could happen and leave you very upside down on the mortage and that would suck.

Wow! That’s so exciting! Though I’ve always liked the state of Louisiana myself.
We have lots to talk about I see. I tried calling you again, but it won’t go through. What’s a good night/day for you to chat?
