Description
From best-selling author and nationally syndicated real estate columnist Edith Lank comes this all new and revised edition of her classic book, The Homebuyer's Kit. From updated mortgage and legal information to advice about using Internet resources and dealing with lead paint, The Homebuyer's Kit furnishes would-be homebuyers with everything they need to know about making one of the most important (and expensive) investments of their lives: buying a house. In her trademark easygoing style, the author provides buyers with the vital information they need. She explains the "ins and outs" of buying a new home, ushering buyers through each step of the process, from working with agents to negotiating the contract. Homebuyers can tap her knowledge to: -- Select the best broker or agent -- Decide whether or when to use an attorney -- Determine how much to spend -- Find appropriate financing -- Apply for a mortgage successfully -- Iron out contract details As Lank notes in her preface, "Buying a home... is like a trip to a foreign country... It always helps to have a guidebook for the trip -- here it is. Bon voyage, and have fun on your journey "
