Hi Jo:
I understand your point of view. I just bought my first home last summer.
I had the same thoughts... all of the "what if's" that come to mind when you think of having a mortgage. What helped me overcome the fear, was coming to the realization that whether I rented or owned, I still had to come up with the money! Something about the words "mortgage" and "ownership" makes it sound like an ominous responsibility for first-timers, but the reality is that there is the same level of responsibility with renting. If you don't have the rent, you can't live there.
So once I convinced myself that paying a mortgage is no different from paying rent, the rest was easy!
Once you've made that connection in your mind, then you should look to professionals (like those on this network) to help guide you through the process!
Best of luck!
ENJOY NOW!
-Patrick
