Talk to a couple. Call up local real estate agents and ask them who they use. Not all brokers deal in the same mortgages so shopping around helps. If you can put down 20% that makes life a lot simpler, but if you have less there is options. Ask about FHA loans. FHA loans are for first time home buyers and the down payment is 3.5 percent. They are backed by the government so you don't pay as much insurance on the difference in down payment.<br /><br />The other thing I know is to inspect the SHIT out of the house. The minimum, to me,is a general inspection and a sewer line inspection. It'll cost ya( $300+ for the general inspection and about $150 for the sewer line), but it's worth it on the back end. You don't even want to know how much it costs to replace 30' of main line from the house to the city sewer line.<br /><br />And to think I was once your noisy neighbor!Plucky Purcellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00534155166302455010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078418040931150183.post-35067142322118618692009-12-03T12:03:24.847-08:002009-12-03T12:03:24.847-08:00Heya,
