[quote=Anonymous]Spend some quality time on Redfin. I think the person who advised putting down enough so you can have a 15-year mortgage instead of a 30 had a good idea there. To help think of neighborhoods, put your basics into Redfin without any geographic restrictions other than the DC metro area and zoom into where clusters of houses come up. Then compare those to your commute and where there are good schools. $500 to $600 won't get you a decent house everywhere, but you could try Silver Spring and Takoma Park or, if you work in Nova, Vienna or Springfield.[/quote]
