Afraid of getting suckered.What good readingbooks can steer us in the right direction?What price range do you think would be practicle for a home?What type of person should we be dealing with to find this home?Here are our desires right now, is this a practical outlook for us?- Want a home asap- Reserved a Tesla Model 3, We may not buy it at all if its not practical with our income. I admit, this was an impulse.- Foreign travel once or twice a year.- Retire in late 50s?Thanks for any insight, and sorry for any redundancy, as I cant read these forums religiously. More than willing to share any info you think would help.  <response>: In order to buy a home, you will need savings. Why do you have no savings now? Have you been putting your money toward retirement or just spending it? Based on your income you should be able to save up a 20 down payment pretty easily. As far as price range you should be looking at 400k homes MAX, with a 20 down payment.
