How do I find the best mortgage and financing options? How can I read between the lines of the seller&#8217s disclosures? How do I find a fixer-upper? With more than 50,000 copies in print, Robert Irwin&#8217s classic guide, Buy Your First Home!, continues to answer these and hundreds of other questions for first-time homebuyers. In this crisp, updated third edition, Irwin presents all-new information about the homebuying process, financing options, budgeting, and taxes-plus reorganized chapters that give first-timers the facts they need to make key decisions. Speaking with a voice of experience and authority, Irwin shares more stories of some of his own mistakes and successes, while offering take-to-the-bank insights, easy-to-use checklists, and comprehensive how-to advice for first-time buyers. He discusses everything a first-time buyer needs to know, from the initial rent versus buy decision, to credit, mortgages, inspections, real estate documents and what they mean, all the way through to the move. Then, when it&#8217s all done, the paperwork signed, the large checks turned over, Irwin also helps first-time homeowners deal with the nearly common feeling of ""buyer&#8217s remorse"" that often overcomes them at the end of the process. Buy Your First Home! walks readers carefully through every step of the process, so that they can cross the threshold into their first home with confidence. A must-have reference for the first-time homebuyer&#8217s library. Highlights Buy Your First Home! shows readers how to survive the homebuying process and thrive afterward, including how to: •Determine ""need to have"" features and an affordable price range. •Scope out available properties using the Internet. •Handle pitfalls and delays, such as loss of important documents or problems in an inspector&#8217s report. •Negotiate fees and terms successfully with lenders. 963415 2000 Buy Your First Home! total:8|4:2|3:4|2:2| 8 24 16 2 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 05 12:40:14 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 05 12:43:06 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sat May 03 18:54:54 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 21 20:44:23 -0700 2008 Sat May 03 18:54:54 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Nov 22 12:59:17 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 12:59:17 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 31 12:47:33 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 14:06:31 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 12:47:33 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Aug 19 12:37:38 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 12:33:17 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 12:37:38 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Wed Jul 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 09:15:39 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 02 19:02:38 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Apr 27 19:38:26 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 19 13:26:08 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 19:38:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jan 31 14:23:16 -0800 2009 Sun Aug 30 19:29:17 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 21 06:46:18 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 21 07:00:25 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Jun 25 12:42:11 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 25 12:42:11 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri May 30 17:00:09 -0700 2008 Fri May 30 17:00:09 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Mar 14 21:27:59 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 14 21:27:59 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri Feb 15 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 03 21:02:47 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 16 19:19:17 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Thu Jan 17 20:43:27 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 17 20:43:47 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Nov 02 10:56:28 -0700 2007 Fri Nov 02 10:56:43 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Wed May 23 15:14:24 -0700 2007 Wed May 23 15:14:24 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=978519
