Many people say it is stressful, making the decision to move forward with purchasing your first home.
I say, it is only stressful if you lack the planning and thought that is absolutely required, prior to embarking on your new adventure, and laying the groundwork for your homeownership future.
Purchasing a home, whether it is your first, second, third, fourth or fifth...is a large financial commitment and decision.
For many of us, our home is the most expensive purchase we will make in our lifetime.
That said...there is an inherent joy to owning your own home.
It is definitely worth the effort...
As you progress through the course, you will have continuous access to me, should you seek a bit more clarity or new suggestions, ideas or require a deeper explanation for one of the lecture topics.
At the end of each lecture in your "Resource" section, I have provided detailed notes for you to print, place in your file and reference when needed.
I love real estate...
I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you.
Let's get started...
