I’d say really just suck it up and rent and apartment until you can find a decent house, rather than do an impulse buy of a house that’s a pile of crap.
Some apartments have a clause that will allow you to move out and end the contract if you buy a house, changes jobs, stuff like that, so it’s worth checking into.
It’s a big deal, so I’d really look around, and then look more when buying a house, you need to see and make sure that everything will work for you rather than getting something and being stuck with it after you find out it’s not for you.
Yes you need to get a pre-approval for what you’re looking to spend first. If you are a Credit union or bank member, check with them first to see who does their mortgages. At the least you can start with them to get a pre-approval.
Take it for what it’s worth…
