<human>: I'm thinking of getting into the real estate market. What do I need to know before I get started?
<bot>: Before you get started in the real estate market, it is important to understand the local regulations and laws that apply to buying and selling property. You should also research the current housing market in your area, as well as the average prices for similar properties. Additionally, you may want to consider investing in a home inspection service to ensure that any potential purchase meets your standards. Lastly, make sure to have adequate financing ready before you start looking at homes.
