What is a good mortgage rate? Do I apply for a 15- or 30-year mortgage? What's an ARM? How big a down payment do I need? Can I buy a foreclosure? What is REO? Do I need a professional real estate agent? How do I find a reliable lender? All those questions - and many more - are answered in easy to understand language. The complete home-buying process, from getting pre-approved for a mortgage to shopping for neighborhoods to negotiating a price to closing without surprises is described, step-by-explanatory-step. Helpful checklists help the first time homebuyer keep track of all the absolutely necessary details about different properties, mortgage opportunities and more. Another helpful feature: Don't Rent Buy! lists scores of resources, including contact information for state housing finance authorities, listings for federal programs designed for the first time homebuyer -- and an extensive glossary of terms common to the residential real estate market.
