Jesse.....After purchasing my 1st place, I had to learn a few lessons that weren't apparent to me while living the apartment life.....not trying to rain on your excitment, just want you to be aware (if you aren't already....you seem to be a smart cookie) of some additional items that you want to prepare for.....you gotta get a storage shed for your lawn mower/ other yard tools etc(go bigger...not that tiny 21" deal)....gotta maintain the yard (need to look better than the neighbors...which means seeding, aerating, fertilzing, etc!!!), gotta maintain the HVAC unit, gotta get bugs and termite inspection every year, PLUS the wifey is definitely going to want to paint every room in the house a different color with your help of course (LOL), need a refrigerator for the garage.....Lots more to it than just a house payment....but have fun with it!!!hahahah
