more than a few points come to mind..... 1. pick a house on a block with at least 50% homeowners 2. try and talk with at least a couple before buying.... they will be your neighbors and hopefully friends 3. visit the block at night and on the weekends 4. picture yourself walking to get bread or whatever 5. keep the house firmly secured while you are away 6.fix the roof first 7. learn the basics of the trades.... have a water, gas and electric meter/panel installed by a pro, then you rough in and install the branches. 8. buy stuff used when possible 9. if you are to live in the house that is better...... renting puts you on the radar in many ways .... 10. be your own best boss, not a tyrant you are on an adventure.... good luck from someone who has been there
