For all of you who think real estate agents have it made and basically have their pick of condos to buy, I am going to let you in on my home search....step by step. This should be an ongoing series of posts....so stay tuned.
Post 1: Background
Post 2 - Step 1: My new budget
So far I'm terrified. I am trying to do a budget to figure out what I can really afford. This is proving to be exceptionally difficult. Being self employed means having no "fixed" income....which is of course potentially very good and potentially very bad. The toughest part is taking what I have made for the last couple years and estimating what I will make next year and coming up with a realistic and reasonable budget based on that.
Each post.....to contain:
- What happened
- What I learned
- How you can benefit
