Bought a house alone but not as a single mom. I imagine as a single mom, I’d do it. Scary and empowering at the same time. Only because I grew up with single moms around me who did all they can to provide for their kid(s). If you do it, try to have a different set of eyes who can support you through the process such as a trusted friend. Decide whether you want the inspector to be of your choosing. Be firm in negotiating. If you’re working with a realtor, they make a profit too so try to be mindful of that and leave room for what the non-negotiables would be for yourself and your kid(s). You got this.
