[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any tips?  Besides "rent instead".[/quote]

Why would you rent unless, of course, you'd be due in a matter of weeks.

I was 4 months pregnant when we bought a home.  There were no rent backs from either side.  So we moved in December.

It wasn't a big deal.  [/quote]

Many people should rent because they don't consider schools for their fetus or small baby. Many buy a big house in a transitional neighborhood thinking the schools will improve, which is not a good assumption in DC. They also fail to understand the lottery system for charter schools and cannot afford private schools. [b]It isn't so easy to sell houses these days[/b].

Renting in many cases is also a much better financial decision these days! The days of "throwing money away on rent" are over.[/quote]

I disagree.  Houses are selling like hotcakes in DC, especially in transitional neighborhoods.  Plus, even the "bad" schools are fine for pre-school and pre-K.  The schools will improve as soon as the educated more affluent neighbors in those areas start sending their kids to them.  [/quote]
