First time home buyer?

[abbicory]

I have recently been considering purchasing a home due to the lower interest rates, a buyer's market, and personal factors. I am in my early 20s, have around 14k in liquid assets, and around 6k in stocks and bonds. I recently graduated college and have been working in my career field for around 8 months. Each month after all of my expenses I am able to save around 2k. I really don't understand the process for applying for loans, different loans types, etc. If anyone has any insight and/or resources that can help explain some of the red tape to me, please let me know. All replies are appreciated, and thank you in advance.
