Customer Reviews
Perfect for Clueless Home Buyers
This book was amazing at breaking down step-by-step the whole process of buying a first house, from the very start to finish. Told at a level that even the most clueless when it comes to home buying can understand. Some humor was thrown in every once in a while that helped break up the discussion of such a serious life decision. Dad jokes definitely made the book more relatable as well, like getting advice from your dad rather than some “random finance expert” from a book. Would highly recommend for all those thinking of buying a home for the first time!!
