    I f you want to buy a home then the easiest way I have found is to get a lease option to purchase. That way you can use your payments as history as well as part of the payment on purchase. The seller is more likely to work with you. This is for personal purchase not investment that is another subject and is a different method.

    Try to find for sale by owner.

    Use a local attorney who knows the property market for documentation and advice.

    Take your time and do your homework.

    Make a list of what, where and why. Then stick to it. Buying a house is the ultimate emotional experience.

    Find out what market prices are for what you want vs what you can afford. Be realistic. Get pre-qualified for a mortgage.

    Don't become house poor. Life is too short.
