Agree on the advice their are sharks out there that are very good praying on people with various scams each month a new one pops up so avoid the housing market right now .In the mean time invest in a index fund that follows a benchmark like a S&P 500 each month/week put more money in when you are at a age that father wisdom has visited make small moves into the housing market .

Agree with @Brandon Croucier on this one, its an underwriting guideline that you would need to dig into before you get too far.

@Chai Xiong Thanks I agree.

I totally agree that most agents are horrible negotiators.
