Purchasing Primary Residence

[Alexander Schaaf]

Hello real estate investors!

I am looking to purchase my first property. It will serve as a primary residence for awhile, and my plan is to convert it into a rental property after some time.

I want to build a home and I realize I may be paying a premium for that, does anyone have any tips on how to best estimate my monthly payments including utilities, property tax, PMI, etc.? This is my first time buying a home, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all in advance.
