Research
Whether it's online, with friends or at work- start researching about different neighborhoods and housing prices that are suitable for your budget and lifestyle. Do you prefer a metropolitan or suburban area? Some keys things to look for are additional expenses like insurance, property, taxes and repairs, demographics, and your finances. Are your savings congruent with the potential down payment?
