What Every First-Time Home Buyer Should Know; David Bach's Automatic Millionaire Homeowner

While we could write a long list of things first-time home buyers should know, and you might believe half of it...because we're not lenders, and we're not accountants, we can only help you find great value real estate, we like to defer to the subject matter experts. Every potential first-time home buyer, and every real estate investor in general, should read David Bach's book: The Automatic Millionaire Homeowner. This book covers every aspect of home buying, from initial savings, to mortgage options, to tax benefits, to how Realtors can help you. It's a great education tool for soon-to-be homeowners. I've read the book several times, and each time I relearn something, or something new catches my eye. In it, Bach goes into detail about HOW Realtors can help, and you benefit from our expertise in this local market. Call us today to discuss how you can get on the path to becoming a homeowner!!

Scott, This is a good blog. Most (all) first time home buyers don't have any idea where to begin. Read a book is a great start. I hope the book tells them to get pre-approved before they start shopping. I think that is the biggest mistake I see 1st time home buyers make. They go shopping for a home beforew they knwo what they can afford. They fall in love with a house and do what ever it takes to qualify for the home. Even if it means they take out an unfavorable loan. Patience is the best policy when shopping for your fist home. I hope the people reading thisw blog take time to read this book before they start the process. Thanks for the post.

Scott,

I know I could have benefited by having more info when I bought my home. On a related note - We have a course for first time home buyers. I don't want to 'sell' on your blog but if you want more info let me know. I would be happy to offer your readers/clients/partners etc a discount on the course. Just send me a direct message if you want to talk.
