A nice aid to figuring out how to buy that first house...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I bought this book about a year before I started looking for my first house (when I knew ABSOLUTELY nothing beyond the fact I wanted to buy) and I found this book to be an indespensible aid. The real beauty of it, for me at least, is Ms. Glink's ability to get you thinking about all the myriad issues involved in buying a home (including the biggie - do you even want to do it) in a constructive way with language that is easy to understand. I love that she includes the emotional issues (that are so often overlooked) alongside the financial, legal and practical issues. The breakdowns of real-estate language and the worksheets are nice touches, too. I have recommended this book to everyone I know who utters that magic phrase, "I'd love to buy a house someday...".
A must have for the new homebuyer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I am a 25 year old looking into buying a condo in Chicago. I just finished the book and it taught me so much about what to expect going into this major purchase. The author explains what you can reasonably assume a bank will loan you, different financing techniques and important emotional and financial issues you will have to resolve before choosing a home. Its easy to read and engaging. I usually have a short attention span for manuals, but I read this cover to cover in a week. I never lost interest. If you're a renter and at the point where you're starting to think you want to buy, read this book for some great tips and advice so you don't fall into any "gotchas" ahead.
Great resource!!

The book helped my wife and I put a plan together in our quest for home ownership. We were really stuck on how to get started. The book gave us useful worksheets and many helpful tips. The author is especially nice and took the time to answer my questions via email.
The Pre-Buying Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
We're about a year away from buying a home, and this workbook has been our guide to get us focused and to actively take steps to make sure we're in the best position possible--financially, emotionally, and intellectually--before we even start looking at homes. We followed Glink's suggestions on getting our credit reports in order and are now looking up information on exclusive home buyers agents. We'd be lost without the worksheets and the sound advice she gives.
