With statistics like these, you'd think that more attention would be paid to the special issues and challenges single women face when buying a home. Yet they remain the most neglected group of consumers--and readers!--out there. The Single Woman's Guide to Real Estate changes all that. Filling a much-needed hole in the marketplace, single mom Donna Raskin and prominent real estate entrepreneur Susan Hawthorne have written an engaging and informative guide that shows single women everywhere how to invest their hard-earned money in the real estate market. Whether they're buying their first home, re-entering the market after a divorce, or looking for that perfect condo for their retirement, readers will look to this one-stop resource for the answers and advice they need to make their dream of home ownership a reality.
I'm in the process of buying my first home- as a divorced- mother of one. By all intents and purposes, I've always been a self-confident girl and then woman, but home-buying scared me so much. This book gave me the information I needed to ask the right questions, and had lots of practical insight. I loved the pros and cons of different mortgages types (there are so many options now) and also the individual "real women" writings that detailed other women's experiences. More importantly, I thought and felt that this book was written especially for me- addressing lots of the fears of single womanhood and homeownership and empowered me with all of the information that I needed. Reading this book was also affirming for me- I now know I'm doing the right thing by investing in a property for my new family. I know I'm setting a wonderful example for my daughter too. Its the ultimate act of self-love and self-care. I totally recommmend this book.
