Buying a home is the biggest purchase you'll make in your lifetime. You need to know the good, bad, and ugly about what really happens. Many people are clueless about the treacherous process, and this is a subject that they sadly do not teach us a lot about in high school. This book provides an accurate roadmap, complete with potholes to show you what to expect so you can be adequately prepared to navigate through the madness. Most real estate books describe how glamorous, enjoyable, and pleasant it is to buy a home. Rather than being brutally honest, they sell you the fantasy of becoming millionaires in real estate without any of the realities. This sarcastic, snarky book gives you the real answers behind the madness, while filled with laughs and head shakes. It is loaded with real-life stories and examples of the delays and chaos that ensues involving anywhere between 30 and 60 people. For instance, one time, one of our couriers trucks caught fire while on Interstate 5, destroying all of the documents inside. Thus nobody's deal closed on time. The Mortgage Loan Process gives you the details that no one else has ever done so that you are prepared for anything! Book jacket.
