Exciting News :->

VA certification is taking forever, and it seems like the VA department isn't really giving Zach any answers and he feels like he has hit a brickwall with them.  So, we have decided to go with a FHA loan.  The only difference is that FHA requires a minimum down payment of like 3.15%, whereas VA does not require any down payment.  That's only a few thousand dollars, which is totally doable.  Yay!  We met with our mortgage lender today, and he said that once he gets all our documents, the fee for the apparaisal, and the application submitted, we could be looking at closing in 3 weeks or so.  Holy Cripes!!!  How awesome does that sound?  Pretty flipping awesome, I'd say!  So maybe late Septmember we could actually be in our own home...our first house as a family :-)
