Got preapproved for more than we wanted to spend so we are good there. found a couple nice places so we drove past them on our own (the wife and I) before we turned them over to our realtor. We are going to see about 16 houses this coming weekend, 8 Saturday and 8 Sunday.

Question, how do i find the deals (ie - REO's & homes that have been on the market for a while). Our goal is to buy a nice starter home and make some money on it in 7-10 years. What should i look for? how old should i buy? how old shouldnt i buy? etc?
