Home Buying 101: What They Don't Teach You in the Classroom

Book Synopsis: Growing up, I was always bewildered why important financial lessons like taxes, investments, and buying a home weren’t taught in school. Ever since, I've wanted to learn and help others with their financial needs, including buying a home, which is the reason I wrote “Home Buying 101: What They Don't Teach You in the Classroom”. Unlike a textbook, this book about home buying is short, informal, and easy to read. It’s the “Cliffs Notes” version, filled with information and tips I’ve learned throughout my career.
