Home hunting 101. Location, location, location right? In todays market you can afford to line up the shot. Check schools even if you have no kids, in a good sellers market or even a polarizing buyers market a home in the right school district will fetch a handsome price.

When considering buying a home, do ask the neighbors questions they are often the BEST source for information both good and bad. Drive the area at different times of the day just to see who and what comes out in the day and in the night.

Trust your instincts, they seldom ever lie, a good rule of thumb is if the deal seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
