A & C are your deal breakers. Do not shortchange yourself. Everyone's list is different, but everyone needs a list.
Minimum 2 car garage was a deal breaker for me. The 1st house our agent showed us had no garage, the 2nd house had a small 1 car. I told him if he showed us one more house without a minimum 2 car garage he would no longer be our agent. We never saw another one w/o one. Now I wish I pushed for detached and flat driveway, but those would have been nice to haves at the time..

Couldn't agree with you more. I told my agent the homes he showed me needed to have at least a one car. I was fortunate enough to find the house I did with just about everything I wanted in a first home. My only quip is no basement but that's not something I needed to have but would have been nice.
