Home Buying for Dummies
Eric Tyson, Ray Brown
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
Rank: 373
Amazon.com This may be the best comprehensive guide for home buyers. Home Buying
for Dummies is coauthored by Eric Tyson, author of several other books
in the For Dummies series, and Ray Brown, a long-time real estate
professional.
Like other books in the series, this one is an easy and even
entertaining read. But it does not gloss over details in pursuit of
simplicity. Home Buying for Dummies covers all the bases, providing
clear explanations and reasonable judgments on how to select a mortgage,
hire a real estate agent, find the right house, and negotiate a good deal.
The book goes further than most in providing helpful, specific information.
For example, in discussing ways to save money for a future down payment,
Home Buying for Dummies even includes the phone numbers for various
mutual funds appropriate to different investment time frames. --Barry
Mitzman--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable

home buying, but lacked the detail and specific advice that I was looking

![]() | | | Good but there's a better one | | (New York) February 2, 2004 - 3.0/5 stars | | Having read both this volume and the Complete Idiot's Guide to Buying and
Selling a Home, I recommend the idiot's guide over this one. The main
reason is because the latter is better written and easier to understand.
