Rent Home Buying For Dummies 3rd Edition (For Dummies (Lifestyles Audio))

Synopsis

In the usual user-friendly "Dummies" fashion, Eric Tyson and Ray Brown take the novice house-buyer through the stages of the process with lucid advice, practical step-by-step guidelines, and plenty of cartoons and sidebars. Beginning with the dilemma of whether you should be thinking about the subject at all "to buy or not to buy"), they then go on to a consideration of how much you can afford--and how to negotiate the best price. From working with realtors to finding a mortgage, they cover all bases, with an emphasis on the importance of investing the time to educate yourself about the process before you get into it. The authors’ intentions are "to ensure that you’re happy with the home you buy, that you get the best deal you can, and that owning the home helps you to accomplish your financial goals." At the end, they include very helpful sample contracts and inspection reports, as well as some tips for sellers.
