I put this guide together because most first-time buyers I talk with have the same handful of questions. How much down payment they really need, what a lender means by "preapproved," what they'll actually owe at closing. So I laid it out as a roadmap. Find the stop you're on and take the next step, whether you're ready now or still a year out.
