The Absolute Beginner's Guide to Buying a House

Rating:
Summary: Good basic foundation for buying a first home
Review: Found the book informative and provides "nuts and bolts" about buying a first home. Reduces stress level considering all information bombarded with, at rapid rate. Anything that will facilitate the "big" purchase is a ++++.

Review: Very basic outline of the home buying process. The information on the financial aspects (mortages, etc) is too brief so this can't be the only book you rely on if you really want to understand the process before you jump in. A good starting place though. This book made me aware of all the things I still need to learn about...but I'm a pro compared to where I was before reading it!
