The Student LoanDown: Autograph, get key, move, enjoy

Autograph, get key, move, enjoy

I am happy to share my big news with you, Student LoanDown readers—I've officially put the label "apartment dweller" behind me!

That's right: I'm a homeowner. And as proof, I'm sharing some pictures of the steps I took to get into my first house.

Step 1: Sign your name about 50 times on several very important documents.

Step 2: Take the obligatory "receiving the key to your new home" photo with your real estate agent.

Step 3: Solicit help from your family (pictured are my oldest sister and my nephew) to move all your worldly belongings (might I add that I picked the hottest day of the year to move—smart).

Step 4: Enjoy the fruit of your new debt.

More on my transition to homeownership to come.

Hi THIRU - While I don't have the skills to build houses maybe I can point you in the right direction. What exactly are you looking for?
