"You are one step closer to purchasing your dream home AFTER purchasing your first home."
This is a common misconception when it comes to first time home buyers. When you’re deciding what things you MUST HAVE and where you can flex a little, consider these three aspects of your new home:
1. Price - This is pretty objective. What is the price? Do not expect in this seller’s market that you can negotiate down on price much.
2. Location - What part of your location is most important? Do you have an A, B, C, wishlist for location?
3. Condition - Condition takes the home style, age, bedroom/bathroom count, special features (fireplace, garage, double vanity) and repairs needed into consideration.
Now rank these from most important to least important.
When I purchased my first home, location was my #1 concern. Next was price. For these reasons I literally only had 2 options at the time. I had to choose between a newly renovated 2/2 without a dining room or a not as renovated 3/2. I wanted to house hack so having a 3rd bedroom was very important for my rental potential so I went with the second option.
