I can’t stress enough how important it is to stay focused and avoid some of these common pitfalls early on.Quick thoughts:Find the right Realtor – Make sure they’ve got some skin in the game with househacking or investment experience.Budget = Game Plan – That pre-approval is your marching orders.

We did just get a fusball table, so that will be added and we were debating turning garage into more of game room with ping pong table.
