I have been looking for 8-9 months now. Lost about 6 houses to either another bidder or I was unable to bid due to a major problem with the home. I lost a few houses I liked and didn't want to compromise on what I wanted in a home. Was 1300+ square feet, basement, 3 bed rooms, 1.5 baths, 2 car garage, and a large yard so out of reach in Clarkston? Guess so.
I learned through this process that if you don't have a ton of money you are probably going to have to compromise on something so when I bid on this current house I went all in. I bid over the asking at the highest and best call. The house was everything I wanted, except next to train tracks and a power plant area owned by consumers energy. Turns out I got the place. Some days I am very excited, some days I have scared. Today is a scared day. I have yet to get my mortgage to under writing and the closing date keeps changing.
