Many people think they can t buy a house. Here are five reasons. Fear. This is probably the most common reason especially for first time home buyers. You have always rented and there is some comfort knowing that if something breaks the landlord will come and fix it (hopefully). You are afraid that you will buy the wrong house. What if I tell my friends and family that I am going to buy a house and then for some reason you can t buy one at that moment in time.--embarrassed. Cold feet. Buyer s remorse. These are all things that happen to anyone that is buying a house. Information and expectations will qualm those fears. Trust me.
