Chances of all going to zero are slim but just my personal preference.

For now I am looking in the broader Miami area, since I would preferably house hack a duplex and need to be somewhat close to my main work.As for questions I think the biggest unknown right now for me mostly revolves around the timeline and order of steps.

To get pre-approved for a loan, speak with a mortgage lender, research neighborhoods that fit your budget and lifestyle preferences, and consult with a real estate agent.Good luck!

Someone local would be preferred but not required.
