1. Researching the local real estate market is essential before making an offer on a home.
2. Consider your budget and what you can afford.
3. Make sure to look at different properties in the area to get a better understanding of the neighborhood.
4. Get pre-approved for a loan so you know how much you can spend.
5. Think about the long term value of the property.
6. Look into the school district, commute times, and other factors that may affect the resale value of the property.
7. Make sure to have an inspection done by a licensed professional.
