My Father is a Wise Man

Or so it sometimes appears...

Regardless he is very knowledgable about real-estate in the bay area. He's the guy that goes shopping and come homes with some of those free home sales magazines in the paper stands. Anyways he referred a book to me wich I researched and will describe in the following post.

It's called :The Smart Consumer Guide to Home Buying and it evidently illustrates the ins and outs of the real estate market.

For about $20 after shipping on Amazon.com you will get a complete understanding of the following concepts:

-Consideration of family needs: how many rooms, what kind of neighborhood, access to schools, shopping, and the like

-Is the home affordable? Considerations include the size of the down payment, the size and type of -mortgage, projecting monthly payments, and allowing for unforeseen expenses

-Making an offer and negotiating with sellers and real estate agents

-The close, settlement, and escrow

-Remodeling: adding to a home and making improvements

-Investment Property: understanding market values

-Selling a home . . . and much, much more
