One thing I see a lot with first-time buyers in their 30s:
They focus on getting approved instead of buying comfortably.
A lender might approve you for a number that looks great on paper…

but living with that payment every month is a different story.
The buyers who have the smoothest experience usually follow a few simple guidelines:
• Keep housing around 28% of income

• Have an emergency fund ready

• Budget for maintenance (homes always need something)

• Compare multiple mortgage quotes

• Plan to stay at least 5 years
None of this is complicated.

But knowing it before you buy makes a huge difference.
