First time home buyer! Where do I start?

Angelo Aguirre
Posted Apr 30 2024, 14:27

Hello everyone! 

I am moving to the Fort Carson/Colorado Springs area in August 2024. I am military and looking to use a VA loan. I have never bought or rented any property and I'm looking to buy a home at $300,000 max with a mortgage is no more than $2300.

I have been looking online, but can't seem to find decent houses within the areas I have been searching in. What kind of resources, websites, or people should I start talking to so I can understand how to buy a home? 

Any information is greatly appreciated!

Colorado Springs, Colorado
