First time home buyer

[DannyLove]

I'm giving myself a goal of 1 year to be in the position of buying a house. I live in So Cal where the prices are insane, anyone have links or general tips?

I know RL people in real estate and loans, but I'm always willing to read up on things as well. Much appreciated.

danny~!

there are first time homebuyer grants out there. sometimes they'll pay as much as the 20% down. fanny mae does it and a few other corporations, too.
