This work offers valuable information to both home sellers, on
how to capitalize on their homes, and to home buyers, on how to
maximize their opportunities in a deflated market.
內容簡介:
Your Map for a Brave New Real-Estate World
The days of real-estate mania—when you really couldn’t go wrong
with buying a home, then selling it in a few years for a lot more
than you paid for it—are over. Inflated prices and the “subprime”
mortgage crisis have finally burst the bubble. Now, more than ever,
it’s important for current and prospective home buyers to
understand just what they’re getting into when they take that
plunge—and to think smarter when it comes to making the most of
their biggest asset.
The Wall Street Journal. Complete Home Owner’s Guidebook shows
readers how to become savvy home buyers—and eventually owners—not
only in this new, uncertain era but in any market:
? Understand the benefits and pitfalls of owning versus
renting
? Make sense of the housing market—ask the important questions,
factor in the unforeseen costs, and explode the big myths of home
ownership
? Take advantage of current opportunities if you’re a first-time
home buyer
? Overcome the challenges if you’re looking to trade up or cash
out on your home for retirement
? Make the best profit on your home in any market
? Understand why your home—your number one asset—really isn’t
such a
great investment
