Do you find house or figure financing first?
Hey guys, I'm currently reading and learning about real estate and even though I feel I am still about 8 months away from actually looking for a property I wanted to know, since I might look into conventional financing, would I find the property first and then go to the bank or do I go to the bank and then look for a property?

I would get financing first. There are a ton of variables and you don't want to lose a deal based on someone or something else.
