@Tim DiMario- thanks and welcome ...I would recommend getting formally pre approved for a hypotehtical scenario with a lender ...This process will help get you organized / prepared and its free ...you will also learn a lot ....if you never  buy anything or dont buy anything for soem time - its  OK ...good luck
