Lessons learned? Challenges?
Don't wait for any assumed obstacles to take place. Waiting is just as bad as not even considering it. If you wait for the perfect time, you may never take that step forward.
Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
I used a Real Estate Agent but I wouldn't recommend him now that I understand some of the different things he didn't do correctly
