A first time buyer has questions about how to get started buying a San Francisco home

A reader asks:

As a first time buyer, what are the first steps in buying a house or condo in San Francisco?

Our reply:

Our first suggestion would be to meet with a mortgage broker to see what price range home you qualify to buy. There are also mortgage calculators (
Dennis Kowalski of Princeton Capital has one on his site) to give you an idea of what you can afford. But meet with a professional who will know what loan programs are available to you as a first time buyer. Once you know this it will go a long way in determining what area you should be looking in and the type and amount of the property you should buy.
