Smart Guide to Buying a Home

Rating:
Summary: All the information you need to buy a house
Review: If you ever want to find out the grueling process of buying a home, this book will tell you all the gory details from budgeting your expenses to find out how much house you can afford to paying all those crazy closing costs. There are some tips and reminders scattered throughout the book. The chapter on negotiating with references to "The Art of War" is going alittle too far...the authors had way too much while writing that chapter.
