Buying your first home is a process. The buyers who feel most confident are the ones who prepare in the right order: financial picture, financing strategy, then home search.
Start with a clear sense of monthly comfort, not just maximum approval. Explore mortgage options that may be available and ask about programs that fit first-time buyers.
Once you have a strategy, the home search becomes much calmer. Speak with Andrea for guidance based on your specific situation.
