Product Description
"The Beginner's Guide to Property Investment" deals thoroughly with the
whole process of buying your first home, right up to the time you move
in. It also examines and explores the many alternative areas of property
investment available to you once you've got your foot on the first step
of the property ladder. These include buy-to-let, let-to-buy,
renovation, buying property abroad, self-build and self-employed
business enterprise. This book will disclose opportunities you might not
even be aware of, whatever the state of the property market. However, it
does not advocate cutting corners or taking unnecessary risks. By
reading it in a progressive and methodical manner you will understand
the advantage of self-assessment and careful planning. You will also
gain access to generous amounts of inside information and well-kept
trade secrets. It includes such topics as: Why estate agents yearn to
make contact with first-time buyers? What constitutes a sound
investment? Why buy-to-let has boomed? How to examine your borrowing
potential and create a golden credit rating? It also examines the
extraordinary volume and range of mortgages available and suggests the
best types for you and your circumstances. |

From the Author
The best friend a home buyer could have.
As a journalist covering the real estate and personal finance industries
for the past 11 years, I am amazed how many real estate agents, mortgage
lenders, appraisers, and title company closers fail to realize just how
confusing the real estate process can be for the average home buyer.I
wrote 100 QUESTIONS EVERY FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER SHOULD ASK because I
felt that almost all first-time buyers, and even those of you who
haven't bought a home in the past five years, basically have the same
questions you need answered in order to successfully complete your
purchase. I still feel this way.
Although the book was published some time ago (I'm working on a
completely revised edition, which will be out in January, 2000), I'm
gratified that so many readers still email me to say that the book has
proved enormously useful. In fact, the Washington Post recently named my
book as one of the best books to buy.
Most readers of my book seem to enjoy learning about the process
without confusing jargon and without industry professionals talking down
to them (which many do simply because they know the business so well).
We have more than 150,000 copies in print of this book, and I'm
delighted to have helped so many people.
If you're wondering or worrying about the home buying process, if you
don't understand how amortization tables work, if you don't know how to
structure your offer, and if you don't know which kind of agent to work
with, then this book is for you.
And, as I have been for the past 5 years, I'm available to answer any
further questions you may have as you go through the process.
Remember, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to buy a home
successfully. You just have to know what questions to ask.
