These days there are many options when buying a home. You need to research where to find the listings, what type of home you'd like to purchase, financing availability, location - neighborhoods and schools, closing costs, down payment, working with real estate professionals/agents, and opportunities for the first-time home buyer.

Before agreeing to purchase a home, buyers should have a thorough inspection of the property. Compare prices of inspectors, who is qualified for the type of inspection the home needs (individual vs. whole home), and find out who would then pay for repairs if you decide to buy the home.
