I never could spit, much less have any aim when I tried.
Now I'm going to take a hard right turn tying this to my preceding post Being Hungry & Real Estate. Aim and focus go together, as do these two posts.
The focus centered post was a needs based post while considering your dream homes floor plan. Your dream home today may NOT be your "forever" home as dreams and needs tend to change.
As far as "Aim" and your home hunting goes you need to aim for something with-in your budget. Many first time home buyers have unrealistic expectations thinking they can aim at a speck on the wall of a barn two miles away and hit it. They often don't even hit the broad side of said barn.
How do you avoid disapointment?
Before you even look at ONE home go visit a lender. Be honest with said lender and disclose all debts and income. Don't forget/hide other obligations like college loans or child support.
What lender should you use?
This is one question only you can answer. Your Realtor may give you a referral but I say check around and shop rates. If you are here in Minot ND I would recommend North Star CCU. As a Mobile Notary/Loan Closer I can say I would also shop internet lenders as well BUT be careful when doing so.
