	Where do you want to live?
	Do you want to be close to schools, shopping, or work?
	What kind of house would you like (need)?
	Are you looking for a particular style?
	How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you want?
	Do you want a yard?
	How much house can you afford?
	Have you consulted a Real estate agent or mortgage lender to determine the size of the mortgage you would qualify for?
The first step in the process is to get Pre Approved by a lender. I have access to a few lenders that have the best terms and rates, give guidance to the best loan program for your needs, and do a good job throughout the process to avoid problems during the escrow. I have worked with many lenders on a day-to-day basis and can let you know who does not perform well and who does. Finding out how much home you can afford is the first step in the home buying process. You must put the horse in front of the carriage not the other way around!
