SFR First purchase with no clue!

Candyce Jackson
Posted

I was recently approved for a loan for a SFR however I haven't seen anything in California that I can Honestly afford. I would like my first purchase to be the ground floor for many things in the future. I've been looking into house hacking and I have a few questions/ concerns. Any input would help Thank you in advance

 Hi Candace, 

Would love to help answer any questions or concerns you have about buying your first home. We work with many first time home buyers and first time investors. Sometimes our clients get creative by adding family members on to the loan to help them get approved for more. Had one client go from $700k to over a million by adding their mother who was going to move in anyways.
