I have just a couple of more tips.
1. Check to see if you can get a Freddie Mac loan. If you are buying a house for less than 300K, you most likely qualify. These loans are great because you don't have to pay PMI, even if you put less than 20% down.
2. Drive around any house that you may buy during rush hour. Are the roads busy? Are they tolerable?
3. Check out the parking situation by going to the house on a Saturday morning. That is usually when the most cars will be there.
I hope these tips help.
