How can I learn more about first time home buying tips? I am 26 years old and I am clueless when it comes to mortgages, property tax, insurance etc... When will I know that I can afford to buy a home? I just read your freebie list and have requested my credit score. I found your site today and it is great! Thank you!

I would suggest going to the government's HUD site . They have lots of free information. Also, my wife and I have written numerous articles on home buying and getting a mortgage. You can search Ezinearticles.com for our articles or other peoples articles on the subjects. Good Luck,
