First time home buying can be a daunting and confusing process. This book spells out in detail all the steps required from evaluating how much money you can use to buy the house to actually closing on the property. I was half way through the act of buying a house and found if full of facts and tips to help me understand the process. In fact, I still reference the book to make sure that I completley understand and am aware of what exactly is happening. Additionally, there are tips for investing, both in money markets and in property. I would reccomend this book to anyone who is about to buy a home, whether for the first time or a seasoned second or third time home buyer. Great job!
