For someone looking at getting into the real estate market (1st Time Homebuyer) who does not have job security or is just entering the job market.

1. Do not over-extend yourself - Buy something you can afford (ie: Condo's / Townhome)
2. Prepare to own this home for atleast 5 years
3. Expect fluctuations in the value of your home for the next few years
4. Budget for repairs and miscellaneous expenses
5. Take on a room-mate if possible
