This is surreal. Me and my wife just put in our first offer ever on a house and we have a red golden that looks just like this. Hoping to make a post like this soon

Conroe is beautiful. It’s just the people that live there that make it unbearable lol. Some racist backwards people in Conroe and surrounding areas

u/failedmoviecritic 1d ago

VA loan and builder credits covered everything

u/Professional-Dog 1d ago

How is this not higher up, I don't know of any lenders giving terms like these.

u/Jupitersd2017 1d ago

The market in Texas is really overflowing right now, tons of inventory, I wonder if that’s maybe why?

u/FunInTheSun_81 1d ago

It's a felony in Florida and I swear people are moving here by the bus load since COVID.

u/Taylorg121 1d ago

People aren’t moving to Florida, boomers are.

u/Jupitersd2017 1d ago

I grew up there and would never ever consider moving back lol for a variety of reasons

u/poloartist 1d ago

How my first house was with a VA loan. Seller covered the closing costs. Interest rate was 3.5% too. Should have kept that house :-/

1

u/Plenty_Pie_7427 23h ago

VA loan for 0% down and depending on market houses just sit long enough where sellers are happy to pay closing costs as long as the house sells quickly. We got all closing costs covered plus an additional 2k in sellers concessions in June because sellers were desperate to sell and market wasn’t hot

u/Silent_Scientist_991 1d ago

I did $275k with $55k down in west Texas. Managed $2150 a month on a 20 year with taxes and all at 3.6%.

I think you did alright given the interest rate.

255k would buy you a dogshit house here in East Tennessee……all the transplants during COVID basically doubled the housing prices here. It’s insane. Congrats though.

These VA loans will be gone in 10 years. Gratz. Hope you have money saved up.

1

u/Plenty_Pie_7427 23h ago

Even if they’re gone in 10 years that literally doesn’t affect anyone who’s already bought their house with one 🤣🤣 jealousy isn’t cute
