I used a mortgage broker, one that I didn't have to pay for but was paid on commission based on the mortgage that I qualified for...not the one that she needs to upsell.

Remember that you are buying a house, you remember you will be living in it for a good while, it's not common to just up and sell it and buy another one next month like you do an apartment.

school districts tend to be the barometer for determining if it's a good location or neighborhood. Even if you don't have kids or plan not to have kids it is something that will add value to your home. Also in religious areas like the northeast, accessiblity to synagogues and other houses of worship also increases value.

Good luck!
