My Real Tacoma: Single Girl Buys House, and LOVES IT.
By Roxanne Murphy
Having an obsession isn’t always such a bad thing.
At least that’s how I feel after the experiences that I went through in finding and buying the gorgeous Eastside home that I’m sitting in now.
In 2003, I was a determined 27-year-old, and I had my sights set on one thing, and one thing only: Selecting and purchasing my first house.
I had a good job, excellent credit, and my father loaned me $10,000 for a down payment.
I first went into the process with some trepidation, but I did my research, and quickly discovered that getting everything going would be much easier than I ever could’ve imagined.
