The best option is to contact a real estate professional who has access to MLX listings. To determine a GOOD neighborhood is up to the buyer themselves, no real estate agent should determine whats good or bad areas. The are many websites to view neighborhood stats, http// http://:www.realtor.com has alot of info for buyers. Also if your interested in a certain address you can use google map the address and virtually look at the neighborhood right from your house. Gas prices being high as they are this some times can save you time and gas. A real estate agent can easliy type your criteria including price range and map out all properties that fit. And have these homes emailed directly to you. The first step to purchasing any property is get a pre-approval letter(this has a dollar amount of a loan and interest rate of loan) from a financial institution, secondly find an agent, and finally find a house and place a bid. Your credit score, the amout towards the purchase,intrest rate all have a say on what your monthly mortagage will be. - Sat Jul 19 2008, 20:47
