Time to buy a house.......

I've decided it's time to buy a house. I know what I want (older model, near my parents, land or at least a fenced in yard for my boy Fruitcake) Now I just have to figure out how to get it.

That's where you come in. Give me your hints, suggestions, do's/don'ts, stories,advice about buying, remodeling and general realestate experiencees.

I do have a few houses that fit the bill but going into this whole thing blind I hardly know where to start and what to expect.
There's no doubt that the house I end up with will have a large element of DIY. Which frankly I am looking forward to. New houses hold no appeal for me.

Thanks for any input!

Ps. I've watched and read and occasionally posted over the years but never started a thread. My first ever thread is about realestate. How boring! Lol
