I wrote this book to bridge a gap, between the knowledge that industry insiders have about the legal and financial details of buying a home and the need for average consumers to basically download all of that into their brain--while under time pressure and stress, no less. This book helps home buyers make sure they aren't taken advantage of and don't make a major mistake. If you know what you're doing, buying a house can be fun--a realization of dreams about your lifestyle and future.
