Lessons learned? Challenges?

DO NOT get your mortgage with Wells Fargo. Made me close on the very last day with the seller almost backing out. Start young, I saved religiously for years and bought my first house a year ago at 21 years old. Finishing college this semester and will be working at Marcus & Millichap full time (commercial real estate brokerage firm). Age is just a number in real estate if you have the money anyone can play.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Again, DO NOT use Wells Fargo for your mortgage.
