The first step in buying a house is finding out what you want. Sounds like a no brainer, but I mean by "what you want" is what you really want. And knowing that may not be as simple as you think.
I've had a lot of buyers who got all the way into their home buying process and found out they didn't know really what they wanted because they didn't like any of the houses I showed them. Maybe what they really wanted was not to buy a house at all.
Now maybe you have a lot of time to figure this out or you don't. You may have to buy a house right away because of a prospective move, or you lost your lease unexpectedly, like David Niven and Doris Day in Please Don't Eat the Movies.
Or maybe an opportunity for that perfect job came up at the last minute and you have to decide whether to take it or not and if you decide to take it you have to get there right away and you need a house to live in for some reason as opposed to renting right away.
More later.
I'm trying to create a more knowledgeable buyer. How am I doing?
