For typical homeowners, the monthly mortgage payment is either their largest or, after income tax, their second-largest expense item. When you're shopping for a mortgage without the proper knowledge, you could easily waste many hours of your time - in addition to the financial losses suffered by not getting the best loan you can. Choosing the right mortgage can help you save money for more important financial goals, such as higher education and retirement.

Home prices are too high. Buying a home is the pinnacle of adulthood, but as we all aware, home ownership isn’t exactly easy to navigate, especially for younger folks. Unless you’re completely debt-free, get help from parents, and disciplined enough to live below your means to save money, buying your first home in the future can seem more like a fantasy than an actual possibility.

In the past, buying a foreclosed home was a very challenging process. This was because of the limited supply of foreclosures. In many cases, it took several weeks, if not months, to find a good foreclosure. Next, you had to win the bidding war to buy it and finally you had to have a bank truck of money to repair the new home. Well, this changed with the foreclosure crisis. More recently, there is a large supply of great foreclosure opportunities.

Great
The book was very detailed and informational. exactly what I was looking for. The author gives info on how lenders determine if you qualify, home inspections, realtors, and lists all the things you should be thinking about before you buy a home from saving to closing. this is not for investors but truly for someone who knows nothing about home buying, its a good book to start you off.
