5 Books I Bought to Start the House Buying Process

I bought five books to get us started on the home buying journey.

I got these books not to read them from start to finish but as reference guides to use throughout the process. Something I can pick up and read a section I need more clarity on. I can then go online for further clarification or ask a real estate agent or loan officer.

Book #1: 100 Questions Every First-Time Home Buyer Should Ask by Ilyce R. Glink

So far this has been my most go-to book on the list.

Book #2: How to Buy a House by Mark Ferguson

This is an ok book. Doesn't go as in-depth as Book #1 but still good overview for various house buying topics. Something you can pick up for few seconds to understand what is involved then go to another book for deeper knowledge.

Book #5: The Housing Trap by Patrick Killelea

I bought this book few years ago. At first it scared me to not want to buy a house. But later I realized this book is good for showing you the dark side of the process so you know what might happen and protect yourself.
