home buying advice: Home Buying Stress? You are not alone! - 09/28/11 03:05 AM

It is not easy being YOU
          It is another day in your quest to buy a home.  Depending on the length of your current journey, at times you are feeling like that tiny bit of dust caught between a very solid rock and hard spot.  You know all the things that are bothering you and nobody else seems to get it.  You are not alone.
