Buying a House (Barnes & Noble Basics Series) FROM THE PUBLISHER
Purchasing a house can be the most joyful decision of your life. But the process of selecting an abode, making a bid, and getting a mortgage can drive even the sanest adult into near distraction. In Barnes & Noble Basics Buying a House, Chris Sandlund takes you from the first frenzy of house hunting through the splendid lunacy of moving in.
It's everyone's dream: a home of one's own. But it's not easy to achieve. Where should you buy? How do you put in a bid and get a mortgage? What goes into the inspection, so you catch any problems before the deal is closed? And how should you decorate, landscape, and remodel? From starting the house hunt to drawing up a contract, from locking in a rate to finding a reputable moving company, here's the guide that covers it all. Before you're through, you'll feel sure whether you want a new home or a fixer-upper; if you should live in the city, country, or suburbs; how to calculate taxes; whether to hire a real estate lawyer; and what things to watch out for so your fantasy will become wonderful reality!
