Book Description
Finally: A Personal Finance Book That Teaches Renters and Owners
The Truth About What It Takes To Be A Successful Homeowner
Record Foreclosures. Mortgage Meltdown. Credit Crunch.
The headlines are filled with doom and gloom about the housing
market. Despite the bad news, millions of people in the United
States still want to achieve the American Dream of homeownership
– and millions more are trying desperately to hang on to homes
they previously bought.
Maybe you’re one
of them. Too bad nobody ever taught you how to become a smart
homebuyer – or even told you the whole truth about whether you
were really ready to own a home at all.
Until now.
In Your First
Home: The Smart Way to Get It and Keep It, Lynnette Khalfani-Cox,
The Money Coach, offers a no-hype personal finance guide that
will help you prepare for, find and finance the home of your
dreams – and not lose it to foreclosure.
For those worried
about making the leap from renter to owner, Lynnette explains
how to turn bad credit into perfect credit, in seven simple
steps. She also offers scores of tips on how to manage money and
save cash – even if you’ve never been able to budget. Best of
all, Lynnette walks you step-by-step through the house-hunting
and mortgage application process, saving you time, money and
unnecessary frustration.
