Mistake No. 1 - Thinking you can't afford it.
 
Real estate values have always risen steadily.  Of course there are peaks and valleys, but the long-term trend is a consistent overall increase.  So why rent when you can accumulate equity through home ownership? There are also tax advantages. Even if you have little money for a downpayment, or credit problems, chances are that you can still buy that new home.  It just comes down to knowing the right strategies and working with the right people. 
    
Mistake No. 2 -  Not hiring a buyer's agent to represent you.
