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. It's not a sales pitch. It's meant to be a reference you can come back to, whether you're ready to start searching now or still a year out.
