apartment or house?

...late january 2010...
I had been living with my parents for about 8 months when I decided it was finally time to begin this home buying process.  I had gone back and forth several times about whether I wanted to live in an apartment or attempt to buy a house; ultimately I wanted the experience of living on my own, which is something I had never done before.  I was really leaning towards a house, since I had lived in apartments all through college and graduate school, and with the housing market in the toilet, it was the perfect time to begin the search...

The first person I contacted to begin this journey was my friend Rachael.  Her husband, Tom, is a loan officer, and she had suggested I meet with him to see what I could afford before getting my sights set on a house that was unrealistic financially.  So...that is just what I did!
