Cable, wifi, washer/dryer, grill and bedrooms that look like Hugh Hefner decorated them. 

@Sean TippensI live just outside of Denver and had my house pained inside and out including some decorative for my kids and it was less than 5500.

The credit unions often maintain these style loans and refer to them as "house loans".

If you're using a real estate agent for example, you can have them make that one of the search criteria in the MLS.If you do feel you have to go with condominiums, then yes town houses are better than apartment-style units simply because they look more like single families.

Without seeing the property and style of house and not knowing the square footage and not knowing what you want to accomplish, it generally goes like this.1.

Don't be one of those people.I use this story a lot -- 5 years ago, when the market wasn't even as hot as it is now -- I sold my 1 bedroom "loft style" home in South Philly to a NY cash buyer.

Gov Newsom is signing laws like it’s going out of style!

Start with Craigslist and look for similar properties to yours in comparable neighborhoods (# of beds, baths, same square feet, condition, and style ie SFR, duplex, apartment, etc).  

You will only be able to buy one property at a time with a low down payment, if you are meaning FHA style lending, as you have to wait until you get to 25% equity in the previous loan before you can take out another and a lot of the low down loan products require that you occupy the property for at least a year.  

I wonder if they'd be okay if the stove was just for decoration...
