I have an appointment next Wednesday after work with a mortgage banker.

I'm going to get a mortgage.

This is something I'm having trouble processing. Even though I've been prepping for months now.

There is a CPAN lottery on 4/1 for a property at Howard and Sheridan with very good pricing under this program, but I have to be preapproved by then.

*shivers* When did I become a grown-up?

It's been years since I had that feeling the first time...and now I'm having it all over again, as I get ready to buy an airplane. Yow.

Being grown-up ain't all it's cracked up to be...

But good luck - I'm glad that you are able to take this next step.

Wow! You're one up on me! I never had to meet with a bank on my mobile home purchase -- doing those are like buying a home, and not like buying a home at the same time. So... does that mean I'm not a grown-up? I've got the mortgage... got the home... but didn't have the bank meeting... don't own the land the home is on, but neither will you with a condo...

IDENTITY CRISIS! I'm so confuseled!

Well, I am trying to get into a particular city program for people under the median income which may result in my scoring a newly rehabbed unit for about 60% of list. But for that I have to 1) get a preapproval (to prove I can afford it, and probably a good idea anyway) and 2) use a partner lender who knows about these kinds of programs.

I will probably meet with at least one more bank to find out what programs THEY have (from a slightly DIFFERENT preferred lender list) but once I get all my paperwork in a row it's just a matter of taking the time for the meeting.

I'm not sure if that puts you ahead of (since you actually have somewhere in mind) or behind (since you haven't done the preapproval thing) me in this process...

I assure you, though, that the idea of actually buying property and hence becoming a grown-up is still weirding me out.
