My wife and I had already purchased houses separately prior to meeting each other, so we started making a list of needs vs wants. Things like the master bath, did it have to have a garden tub, two sinks, did we want the other bedrooms on the same side of the house as the master, size of the kitchen, etc. Once you have that list, you have a great understanding of what both of you want. We used Rhonda Miller, with Churchill Brown, out of south OKC. She was extremely helpful and went out of her way more than once to help us while fixing up our prior house to sell, pricing it right, then finding another home.As for purchasing. You'll need $1500-2000 available for inspections and earnest money. Those items and closing costs (which are usually mostly covered by the seller) are the out of pocket costs you'll have to worry about. Good luck and have fun.</blockquote>
