Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

America's elite have been using cash value life insurance to stockpile wealth for centuries. Used correctly, it is better described as a personal bank on steroids, and a financial bunker for tough times. To be clear, this audiobook is not about the typical garbage peddled by most insurance agents. Rather, an alternative to the risky investment strategies taught by Wall Street. It details a highly efficient form of cash value life insurance designed to supercharge your savings and stockpile wealth.

Confidence on the real estate road
As someone who has adamantly followed many Kiyosake-isms for the last couple of decades (the bank owns the house, you pay more over time with a mortgage, etc), I have actually avoided home ownership (mostly due to mortgages) and have been renting as cheaply as possible. And although the approach has allowed a certain amount of freedom, it also comes with not feeling like you truly habitat the space in which you live. So I am glad to have come across V J Dean’s “Buying Your First Home” title and come to the conclusion and realization that home ownership perhaps isn’t as scary and daunting as I had once believed. With excellent advise on budgeting, proper bidding strategy, deal closing, pitfall alerts, and just about everything else you could ever want to understand, I now feel a ton more confident going down this real estate road.

Home Sweet Home
I wish had this information when I bought my present house. Everything you need to know to buy a home! The author includes the credit scores needed to get the best loans. The information on the different kinds of loans was interesting. I often wondered what the difference between an ARM and a jumbo loan. Lots of good information here. Useful for anyone looking to buy a home. A good book to gift to a young couple ready to buy.

Practical help
I was feeling completely lost and overwhelmed by the entire process when thinking about buying my first home. There were so many things to consider - finances, location, square footage - and the more I researched, the more confused I became. This book broke down the complex process of buying a home into clear, manageable steps. I liked the practical advice on everything from securing financing to navigating closing costs. The sections on understanding government programs and incentives for first-time buyers were particularly helpful. I didn't know much about options available to help me get a better deal on my first home.

Resourceful
Listening to this audiobook was really helpful for me as a first-time homebuyer. I was feeling overwhelmed by all the steps and terms like closing costs and building equity, but this audiobook broke everything down in a way that made sense. It felt like having a guide who was walking me through each part of the process. I appreciated how clear and straightforward it was—it didn't feel like I was listening to a complicated lecture, but more like practical advice from someone who’s been through it before. Highly recommended for first time home owners !

Buying a home
I struggle to find an excellent home for my family and don't know where to start. Here in Canada, it's getting expensive, and the streets are getting packed with traffic, so it's hard to find a home with a great price. I learned from the audiobook and from friends that when you buy your first home, the government can find a way to give you a great price. I had an idea of what I wanted from home, how much space I needed, which streets were best, etc. The audiobook gives practical tips, and I like the step-by-step guide and will keep this audiobook for my reference.

Very insightful!
Must read before buying a first Home, or someone like me looking to move out of my first one to buy second. I wish I had come across this before I bought my first home, I would've been much more prepared.. Very helpful!

Comprehensive knowledge to buy your first home
As someone who just went through the rollercoaster of buying my first home, I can’t recommend this book enough! It covers all the bases you’d expect—mortgages, closing costs, and budgeting—but it also dives into stuff I didn’t even know I should be looking out for. The advice on avoiding buyer’s remorse and catching red flags in homes really saved me from making mistakes.
I loved the narration too—it was informative but at the same time fun to listen to. I found myself going back and listening again during my home search, especially when I hit a few bumps in the road.
If you’re a first-time buyer like I was, this book is an essential read. It made the whole experience way less intimidating! I can highly recommend it!
