Product Description for Your First Home: A Buyer's Kit:

Arm yourself with knowledge for the biggest purchase of your life!


Buying a home -- whether a condominium, townhouse, single family dwelling, or other type of abode -- is often the single largest purchase in a person’s life. But just how confident do you feel that you know what you’re getting into?


When you're looking to buy your first home, who can you trust? Brokers, bankers, realtors ... everyone's biased in their own way. How do you understand what you should look for in these professionals, and what you can or should do yourself? How do you understand how much a mortgage will actually cost, how it works, and how to pay it off quickly? Why do you need a notary or lawyer? Is mortgage insurance worth it?


This multitude of questions can be overwhelming for first-time purchasers; even for people who’ve purchased property in the past.


The First-Home Buyer’s Kit alleviates some of the stress of buying a home by explaining what you need to know about buying your first (or second) place. The author has assisted in literally thousands of real estate transactions.


The CD included with the book includes home-buying checklists and mortgage payment samples, which show how to accelerate equity and decrease debt.


From the decision to purchase to moving day, this guide will help you every step of the way.
