Anyone got any tips besides shop around? I have been shopping around and found a well priced fixer on the things I want to customize anyway... so the work really isn't a big deal. But this is my first time buying a house... Any tips for the noob?
I would also like to know what to look for or where to look at for problems? I'll be looking shortly.
