First Time Home Buyer
Hello, my name is Hano I am 25 years old and I am new to this app and to real estate. I am preparing to take my exam soon for my Real Estate License here in Southern California, but I am also in search for my first home to purchase for my wife and daughter. I want to make this home my first true investment home that we can live in for at least 2-5 years and potentially purchase another home and rent one of them out, but does anyone have any suggestions, tips, advice? I’m here to learn and receive any helpful information from other successful individuals.
