I happily endorse this book. The new second edition contains many new questions from the first edition, revised many other questions, and completely rewrites every answer. Things are changing fast in residential real estate, and this book will bring you up-to-date. Whether you are a first-time buyer, first-time seller, or haven't bought a home in at least five years, this book will serve your needs very well. The questions are drawn from those that brokers report that first-time buyers most often ask. The answers draw upon the experiences of many brokers.How much training does it take to become a librarian, teacher, lawyer, physician, or rocket scientist?

Here are a few of my favorites:(1) Not thinking about how hard it may be to resell the home.(2) Vastly underestimating how much money will be needed to fix it up.(3) Overpaying for the home because of not realizing how to negotiate.(4) Waiting until finding one's soul mate before purchasing.(5) Spending more than you can afford, and using boxes for furniture.(6) Purchasing a home that doesn't fit your needs (where will you put 4 children and you in 2 bedrooms?).(7) Taking on a horrible commute.Interest rates are down in light of the terrible terrorist tragedy and weak economy. Unemployment is rising. Based on historical patterns, this is a good time to buy. Are you ready?
