Q: How hard is it to buy a house for the first time?

• <div><p>Several government-backed lending programs can help first-time home buyers purchase a home with little money down.

Jordan was great. We are waiting until we determine if our home warranty will cover the work. However, having a contractor background, his bid was legit. He was on time, polite, and fast.
