🏡 Zillow is fun — but it’s not a plan. Before serious buyers ever start scrolling listings, they do three things: get pre-approved and understand their real budget. Because when the right house pops up, you need to move fast — and guessing what you can afford can cost you the deal. Your buying power depends on your income, credit, down payment, and current rates. There’s no one-size-fits-all number. 📥 Download my Home Buyer Starter Kit for a step-by-step roadmap before you ever tour a house. #
