Congrats to you Lein! First house is a big deal. I don't know if you're handy in terms of construction skills, but your local community college may have some classes. I highly advise these. Paying for home repairs sucks! There are things I'll pay for at this point just to get them done quickly, but I always resent the need, and am glad for the ability to tell good work from bad work.
