Are you sick and tired of renting? Do you want to learn how to transition out of renting and into owning a home of your own? Do you want to avoid the costly and stupid mistakes most homebuyers make? Then it's time to read this book. How do you get out of renting and into a home of your own? Do you have the resources needed to buy a home? Can you qualify for a mortgage? Is your credit good enough? Do you have enough money for the down payment and closing costs? Can you find a home you like but that you can also afford? Do you know who to trust and work with? The traditional real estate industry has an ingrained sales culture. As a result who can you trust? When a real estate licensee claims to be a buyer agent, will the licensee actually be your agent? Or, are they telling you something you want to hear, but that they are unwilling or unable to provide? Do you want to avoid making a major mistake? A recent bankrate.com survey of homeowners produced some shocking results. 63% of millennial homeowners surveyed regretted buying their home. 44% of all homeowners surveyed said they regretted buying their homes. Do you want to end up with buyer's remorse like these homebuyers did? They wanted to take part in the American Dream of owning their own home.
