Re: House Buying Tips?
Check out FHA loans for first time home buyers. I believe you only have to put down 3% and the seller may pay for your closing costs.
Before going through the process of putting in a bid for a home, check out the neighborhood at night on the weekends and after it rains if you are unfamiliar with the neighborhood.
Get prequalify/preapproved so you know how much you can afford. Also remember to include real estate taxes, homeowner's insurance, homeowner's association fees if applicable to determine how much house you can afford.
Find a good inspector once your bid on a house has been accepted.
Good luck!
