Packed with handy tips, checklists and worksheets, The Homebuyer's Kit gives practical advice on launching the house hunt; choosing a real estate agent; deciding how much to spend; applying for and comparing mortgages; and managing the negotiation.

Even though my edition is dated, 1997, well before the real estate implosion, I find it has worth while information.
