So I've finally decided to give up my nomadic ways and start looking for a house. The whole thing is very new to me, so hopefully people can give some good advice, lessons they learned during thier first time, and any comments on getting the most for your money, the best home loans, etc.
I'm going to be looking in the north side of town. Starting in Westerville, Lewis Center, and branching out into worthington, dublin, new albany, etc. I'd like to stay in the ~$200k range with 4 bedrooms preferrably.
So far my impressions is that I can probably get a newer home in lewis center than I can in the other areas. I like the look of newer homes, but i'm sure there are drawbacks.
I probably will have some money to do a few upgrades after the home is bought, but I'd like to do as little as possible.
So what would you have wished someone told you before you bought your first home?
