First time home buyer

[Elsa M.]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone could give me some clarity as to how I should start the processes of getting my first loan on my first home. I'm hoping to purchase me first duplex early next year (which I plan to live in and also rent) and not sure where to go to for the loan.

This is probably a silly question but, should I go to a bank? A loan officer? A broker?   I'm still saving for my down payment and not sure who the right person would be to help me figure out how  much I would qualify for?

Thanks guys!
