Publisher's summary

If you want to buy a house but haven’t saved for a down payment and think you can’t qualify, keep reading.

You’re not alone, and it’s not hopeless. Yes, rent keeps going up, making it difficult to save. And even though interest rates are great, housing prices keep ratcheting upward, moving further out of reach. And maybe your credit score could be better. It may feel like there’s a big clock ticking double-time, and you’re starting to wonder if you’ll EVER be able to afford your own home. But you don’t want to be shut out of the market. The best time to buy a house? Yesterday. Second best? Today. You need to take the right steps right now to get in the game.

Discover why not every lender is created equal, how to talk the language of real estate, so you can converse on an even playing field. Discover the loan programs that offer no and low down payment options, favorable rates, and easy qualifying.

Authored by a 20-year real estate veteran and national instructor of real estate courses, How to Buy a House will show you:

  • Every step of the home buying process from question mark to keys
  • Relatively unknown mortgage loans that are super easy to get
  • How to get your down payment GIFTED to you
  • Why you should never take no from a single lender as final
  • Why your credit score doesn’t matter as much as you’ve been told
  • Creative ways to find a house you can actually afford
  • Negotiation secrets that will save you thousands

A government program that lets certain buyers buy at a 50 percent discount with only $100 down!

Soon you’ll know exactly how to get qualified, get help with financing, negotiate like a pro, and buy a house. Scroll up and buy!

Thorough and engaging!

This is like a real estate course for buyers, told in an “I’m-in-this-with-you” way by a 20-year real estate pro. I loved the narration, too; I could listen to her all day. This isn’t my first time up to bat, but I now know everything I need to buy a house, and will go in so much better prepared next time around. Great audiobook!

Engaging & prepares you to buy a house!

This information in this book is engaging, well written, and packed with negotiating tips on how to buy a house. The homework at the end of each chapter prepares you to reach your goal of home ownership. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to buy a home.

Looking to buy a house?

Then you probably need this audio book in your life, right now! There are seemingly a lot of real estate "home buyer guides" out there...but I find, by and large - most of them kind of gloss over the essential stuff and just say "hire a real-estate agent", which makes sense as most of those guides are essentially just advertisements for the author's (real estate agent) business. But in this presentation I felt that Ms. Aileen really cares about us the listeners and really wants us to get a great deal, get great rates and she takes the time to educate us on some of the trickier elements to look out for when buying a home. "How to Buy a House" is a fantastic listen for the first time home buyer and I'm glad I picked it up. I am going to recommend it to all my family and friends and I suspect that once you listen you will do the same! A+ Highly recommended.

Perfect Guide 😁

I am in the process of buying a new house, and like many people, I didn't know anything about the process. Thanks to the author for putting this perfect guide together. Now I can say that I have more knowledge about buying a house and how to make some money if I need to 🤗

Excellent Buying Guide!

This is a great guide for a first-time home buyer or someone who hasn't bought a home in several years (because things change, right?!) The author provides a lot of inside knowledge that will be helpful for loans and negotiating the best deal. I enjoyed her sense of humor and practical how-to approach. I feel like I really learned something, and I can't say that about every book I've read. Thanks for the help, Yvonne!

Excellent Package in One book

I must commend the author for sharing valuable guide in one package with amazing narration!

I learned so much! First, the US and UK have completely different processes for buying a house. Who knew? BUT, I learned some strategies that will save me THOUSANDS on my next home purchase. Also, love the author's real estate "war stories." I really felt like I had my own personal estate agent throughout.

Highly recommend!
