What to keep in mind when considering your first property:
✓A starter home is never meant to be your forever home; Chances are your “forever” home is a little more pricey then a conservative and modest starter home and being stuck with crippling mortgage payments in your first years of home ownership is never a financially sound idea.
✓Have a checklist; Identify and prioritize what is important to you and be comfortable with compromise.
✓AND number 3: Have a budget in mind; do your best to stay within budget and have a plan to ultimately trade up.
