Buying a home - Can you have it ALL?
You are a responsible adult, ready to buy a home, and start the process by getting prequalified for a mortgage loan. You contact a reputable Colorado Springs Real Estate Agent and list your specifications for the home you would like to purchase.

The homes need too much work and you prefer a home that is move-in-ready since you are busy as it is with your full time job. Your agent tells you that you may have to make adjustments to your home search which may include looking at smaller homes or considering a different area or neighborhood of Colorado Springs. You may not want to compromise but you have to consider your options, what is available in your price point, and be realistic.
