I think if he didn't have that money saved, we'd have to save it somehow in order to come up with a down payment. He used $10,000 of his savings 3 years ago to put a down payment on his truck and we were able to put that back within a year and a half.... He does make good money though.

Does your husband know anything about home buying? Family? Anyone who could help you 'figure it out?'
Yeah, we have like no downpayment right now. I'd have one if the family would decide who/what we're doing with mom's house.

He doesn't but I've been discussing it with my sister and looking up things on the Internet, I've learned quite a few things today from different sites.
