Pros & Cons
Pros
Hard to beat good, professional advice. Great high-level overview of most of the key concepts. Still reference the book to make sure that i completley understand and am aware of what exactly is happening.
This book spells out all the steps you need to take from deciding whether you really need to buy a home to saving for a down payment. This book is from 2009 i look forward to the newest version in a few months.
Cons
The title says it dummies. It offers only the most basic info and is written by dummies themselves. Judging by the pokes at people, sounds like the two authors are you standard * business men who are not themselves intelligent.
Highlights
Quality
Overall excellent info for the firsttime buyer
I feel more and more confident about the decisions i have made thus far and less anxious about the decisions i will be having to make soon
I am looking for my first house and not very knowledgeable about the subject
Its stressful scary unpredictable and complex if you arent well informed
Price
This book was exactly what i needed at a price i can afford
Competitiveness
Highly recommended for anyone who is a firsttime home buyer or thinking of buying soon
But no one will organize a complete checklist for you and provide you with 100 unbias advice on every single step of the process
