I would suggest buying a temporary primary home first then renting it out after a year or two. That way you can get a better interest rate and potentially take advantage of certain types of loans (ex 3.5% down FHA, etc)

So, I love my job (i work brand side). When I wake up at 4 am to go to the bathroom and can’t fall back to sleep (I’m in my third trimester), is it weird that I just want to get work done for a couple of hours and start later in the day, catching up sleep in the morning? Vs. read a book or try to fall back to sleep (sometimes it takes me 1.5 hours - so I’m like, might as well work?)

Went to an open house over the weekend and really loved the house, but this is earlier than we had planned to buy, so we are still working on saving. It sounds like the buyer wants to move quickly, so they would be willing to work with us.
