Example Usage
I’m 28, making $85K/year, and have $35,000 saved. I’ve been renting for 5 years and want to buy my first home in the Denver metro area. I’m single but my partner might move in eventually. I don’t know where to start—should I talk to a bank first? A realtor? How much house can I afford? I’m nervous about making such a big financial decision. Walk me through the whole process and tell me what I should be doing now to prepare.
