How many offers did you make before you got your first house?

[Okeoma M.]

I finally pulled the trigger and put in my first few offers but haven't had any luck yet. I'm feeling a little discouraged (don't worry, I'm no where near giving up!) and was just wondering 1) how many house did YOU look at before you put in your first offer? 2) how many offers did you put in before you secured your first house?
