<prompt> Human: And weve never done this before. We picked a real estate agent based on positive reviews from friends and family. The first step was to give all of our info to a loan officer so he could determine our loan amount. We told him our price range for a house and are just about to send him the paper work he requested.Any tips on what to expect from this point onward? Any advice on things to do or say? Also I know there is a down payment, and my family was saying that wed have to pay an inspector 500 everytime he comes out even if he says a house is no good. So is there a way to avoid these fees? We dont make a lot of money.Edit: Not sure why a couple comments are being downvoted.. Im genuinely asking for advice here. If thats not allowed in this sub then Ill look elsewhere.  <response>: So is there a way to avoid these fees? We dont make a lot of moneyDont buy a house yet.
