Any advice?

Where'd you go wrong or what worked out well for you?

I am answering without reading the many pages I see this thread has.

Rule #1 - Get an inspection. And make sure your inspector has good references.

Rules 2-5 are see rule #1.

Otherwise I'd just say that the tax write off is great.

DON'T over buy. Just because they will finance you for X amount of money doesn't mean you should spend X amount of money. You need to be able to set some money aside for when those things happen that your landlord took care of before.

I can say it will be a sad day indeed if I ever have to become a renter again. Owning and living in your own home is great.
