I started out with Home Buying for dummies which read more like a text and got me discouraged. After being half way through this, I am now more confident and am considering a number of issues that had never crossed my mind before reading this book. Easy to read.
 Awesome information January 9, 2007

I read Eric Tyson's book and the best book on the market, 100 questions every first-time home buyer should ask...Both books were above average and superb, respectively. I read this book in between these other two books and was thoroughly disappointed. If you are looking at getting into buying and selling homes, then this book may be for you. There was a heavy focus on improving your home and then selling. If you look at the preface, the author tells you that he has moved quite a few times, which should give you a hint about the vibe of the book. He is interested in fixing up houses and selling. The whole book wasn't about this, but the info that didn't focus on this was not explained as well as either of the other two books noted above. Simply pass on this book or at least borrow it from the library so you don't waste your money.
If your a first time home buyer this is a must August 8, 2004

I was totally new at buying a home. We rented for 14 years, one of the worse mistakes in my life. This book helped me tremendously to understand what buying a house entailed, how to go about it and what to look for. I fully agree with Eldred's position of the biggest mistake anyone can make is not buying any house and continue to pay rent. I followed alot of the ideas he shares in my home search and I found a great buy in a solid neighborhood and I was able to do it with very little money down. This book does not give you all the ins and outs of financing a home but this along with a couple of other books on financing will be a great resource to buying a first home. There are alot of things you need to know. I know many homeowners that did not understand what was going on and why, since their agent did not feel it important enough to inform them. Reading this book helped me find the right agent so that did not happen to me and gave me a clear understanding of the entire process and what to look for.
We have lived in our home for over a year now, our escrow went up but i knew that would happen because I learned to ask the right questions but buying a home has been one of the best thing our family has ever done and we do not regret it one bit. This book, a good agent and mortgage broker that I could trust helped us tremendously.
