go to the internet and select three houses from three different towns you might like to buy. Price the houses and determine what the property taxes will be for the houses, what the home insurance will be for the houses. Determine whether you will prefer to go with a fixed or variable rate mortgage. Also determine how to set up an escrow account and explain the process. Calculate what your payments will be for all three houses and find out what you will need to close on the house you most like or choose.
