#1 rule of real estate

real estate brokers/agents are a complete waste of oxygen, much less your time and money.

mortgage brokers are pretty useful though and well worth talking to initially, they will tell you what you need and where you should be.

BTW, IMHO, prices have a LONG way to fall still.

Don't agree about the agent, it depends on the agent. Also don't see the prices are going to plummet. They have been rising since February. If Obama is reelected should stay the same, if Romney, he may flood the market with foreclosures. Interest rates will only go up from here. 3.5 is hard to beat.

DFBrews, I shot ya a PM.
