This is the best advice I've seen. You can remodel the house but you can't change the neighborhood. Once you get through the mortgage BS and figure out what you qualify for start looking on Redfin for houses in your desired area and price range. Compile a list of homes and take it to your realtor. He may want to show you other similar homes which is fine but don't let him push you into a home or neighborhood you don't want. Avoid short sales like the plague. It's a nightmare dealing with them, I know from personal experience.
I sound like a moron. I hate my phone auto correct. Glad you could understand what I was trying to say lol.

as some have already mentioned, why not give some specifics on what your plan is so the cafords mortgage and financial experts can guide

comon they'll need this info like you're applying for a loan: home price list of debt(cc, car loans, school loans, alimony child support etc) list of assets(how much bread you got in the bank, cars owned, property) credit score income from last filing, gross monthly income
until then, they wont be able to provide you w/ the necessary assistance. u might as well throw in your SSN too.

as well as maybe a CC number? don't think it's too much to ask for.

When considering purchasing a home, I would avoid buying a house that would result in crazy commuting hours to work.
The stupid motherfuckers that buy houses in shit hole cities Stockton and end commuting hours each day are fuckin nuts!

hopefully youre far north of 5k. LOL. that 5k will barely cover your closing costs. then again, you should look into FHA loans that cater to the 1st time home buyer and require a much lower down payment. as already mentioned, if youre low income and looking to buy in a more desirable area look into BMR properties. its not for everone but might be what youre looking for.
these old fucks have experience so listen up and learn lol. on a serious note, i wouldnt go on this site much for financial advice. go research online and maybe join a forum that is more related to what youre trying to get into? trulia has a discussion forum where you can post questions where many are answered by folks in the industry.
