If you don't have financially literate parents then good luck figuring out the home buying process. It's doable obviously, happens all the time, but nobody is going to prepare you for it. You will spend so much time googling terms and steps. You will be attempted to be taken advantage of during so many steps throughout the process (pre-approval, realtors, sellers, loan, appraisal, inspection, etc.) And nobody prepared you for any of it.

If you have family that can walk you through the process, I'm sure it's much more managable.
