Their is a house in my parents neighborhood that has been vacent four about two years. A freind of mine who ended up buying another house checked on the house two years ago. It was an older lady who inhearted it from her father. She said that it had been in the family a long time and that it needed lots of work. I took a look and it is something that I could fix with my labor and my dad's advice. I drove by the house yesterday, and the grass what nearly up to my shoulder, and their was a sign from the city stating that they needed to mow their lawn or else they would be fined.

This freind incoured me to contact the owner and see if she would be willing to let the house go at this point. I'm thinking that the sooner I get into a house the better off I will be. Would I want to consider a land sales contract for this property? This is a house that would have a house payment that would be cheaper then rent. Any advice for a first time home buyer? Thanks Nick.
