Title: Covers nearly every aspect of the home-buying process.
Review: As a first-time home buyer, I found this book invaluable. It explains alot of concepts, has a great appendix of terms, and is a 'fun read' - i.e., humor throughout keeps it interesting. I read Tyson's Personal Finance For Dummies and loved it, and I have the same to say about this book too. It starts off with guiding you through numbers, how much you can afford, and ideas about accumulating a down-payment. It explains the looking process, how to spot good property and "OPT's" (Over Priced Turkeys!) More chapters on mortgage, closing, and most importantly, reminds you that the time to think about selling your house is when you're buying it. I keep going back to several chapters as a reference. More than once, my mortgage broker said, "Wow, you've really done your homework!" I have another book, but this one is the biggest help. I plan on buying Mortgages For Dummies now too. Tyson and Brown did a great job here, thank you!
