<prompt> Human: Hello All-Im 27F close to reaching my financial goal in order to start the home buying process. 3 months out Ive spoken with several different financial experts, Ive done my own research online and spoken to experienced peers all within the last year. Now Im looking for recommendations for books to prepare me and educate me. What would you recommend and why?Assistant: Unless you would really prefer a book, I would recommend an online first-time homebuyers course. I learned a ton about the whole process, the various expenses, and the surprisingly large number of people involved. I took it as a requirement for a state program I used, but was glad I had to.The one I used was First Home Advisor found through eHome America. Not sure the rules on links so a google search will get you there. The course if I remember correctly was 10 or more hours and costed 99 but its a video, reading, and quiz course so you can complete at your own pace.Human: My coworker told me about these courses. Ive been told I can get some sort of kickback if I complete one. I would be willing to both read a book and that said course.  <response>: I believe Khan Acadamey has some free courses too. Do check them out.
