I'm currently renting and am planing/preparing/saving for purchasing a small SFH later this year (assuming I achieve an agreement with my mgmt on work load/responsibilities without getting fired). I've ~&110K in saved for down payment/fees, plan to put at least 20% down, and am saving ~2000-2500/month. No car pmt or other debt. Fairly knowledgable of the buying process. Will be looking to buy in the Sept/Oct time frame. Other than keeping up the savings and investigating neighborhoods/areas what other steps are suggested for preparing for the Big Buy?
