Choose the house you can afford, not the maximum amount the lender thinks you can afford. (Ask me for my home budget calculator to see what numbers make sense)
It’s okay if you don’t have a 20% down payment. Talk with a trustworthy lender to see what your options are.
Start small and use your starter home as leverage to move up to your next home.
Don’t be afraid to walk away. Title issues, an inspection full of red flags, or an inflexible seller? It’s okay to walk, something better will come along.

We created a home budget calculator for our clients who are interested in moving toward homeownership – if it would be helpful for you too, DM us for it!
