Book Reviews of Home Buying For Dummies, 3rd edition
Book Review: Review
Summary: 4 Stars
Great. Like most Dummies books, very informative if you know nothing about your subject. Which is exactly how much I knew.Book Review: Good For First Time Home Buyer with No Resources
Summary: 3 Stars
I am trying to buy my first condo and I bought this to try and help me since I didn't really have anyone to ask questions. The book is very generic since home buying varies quite a bit from state to state and sometimes within states.
I think it was a good way to know what was going to happen, but as I got futher into the process I needed more specific information about how things worked in my state. Also I think home buying has alot of little details that I think are missed in this book. Again, good to get started, but I would like a Home buying for dummies in (insert state here) book.
Book Review: Tedious to Read, But Contains Good Info
Summary: 3 Stars
If you've read other "For Dummies" books, you'll be used to the style. Prose padded with dumb jokes and needless words so that "dummies" can digest the helpful information within. However, the information has all been useful and has made our first home buying experience less stressful. I grudgingly give this book 3 stars--even though my wife and I had t bribe ourselves with Mighty O doughnuts to slog through each chapter. Beware, or you may gain a few pounds as well as an education on homebuying.Book Review: Mostly basic, with some good advice and some bad.
Summary: 3 Stars
One main problem with the book is there is a sense you should trust the realtor. I disagree with this 100%. You should never, never trust a realtor. Good luck finding a "great realtor" let alone an honest one. Be careful with what you tell a realtor. Even the one you believe is working for you as a buyer. Do your own comps, because it is easy, and pay that or less. Very simple.

I thought the book was good. I was hoping to get something that would tell me about the different type of loans there are out there. I guess that might be a different book.
