The “wine”, food, and service were all awful the one time I went, really detracted from the performance I was there for. Good riddance.

I’d recommend a first time homebuyers course like this one from Fannie Mae to get you started and help you learn about what goes into qualifying! The first time homebuyer subreddit is also super helpful. House hacking/renting rooms can be a great way to get started but it isn’t risk free, so making sure you have enough cash to cover emergencies after closing is critical.
