About this listen

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!

Just right home

Strongly agree we should get a just right home when we first get our property. I personally start with a small and inexpensive apartment. Around 4 year later, we have enough down payment to get a townhouse for over $700K.

One of the best books ever written on the subject

Look, buying a property is no joke. Unfortunately there is a whole heck-ton of bad advice both online and through "hand me down" stories from parents. This book immediately provides a sense of relief in that a) the process is not as complicated as you make it out to be in your own head and b) there are a number of handy tips and tricks to know.

One of the biggest takeaways I got was that a lot of info I found online was outright wrong, and that there are bad actors in this field who will give you poor advice because it suits their agenda. Like the lender who will encourage you to go for that home you can't really afford just because you qualify for a loan.

I feel like Yvonne Aileen actually cares about me as a listener, and for that, this book is an easy 5 stars.

Awesome tips for US or UK!

Great insights from start to finish that will make the process easier and save me money when I buy my own house.

Unlike other books I've read it covers all the bases... terminology for beginners... negotiating... working with a lender etc. It really does the job of an all-in-one guide.

It was definitely a hand-held, step-by-step guide. And I loved the Goldilocks home analogy. Well done!

If you're looking to buy a house then buy this!

The author's writing style put me right in the "story" for lack of a better word. I was able to feel the process of going through the home buying steps and I know that "muscle memory" or whatever will help me when I'm ready to do this for real. And I also know I will be ready years sooner than I ever thought possible because of what I learned in this book.

Demystifies the process

For me a mortgage has always been a scary prospect, signing your life away for 25 years or more. But this book helped me take away the fear of mortgages and understand that especially in this age of cheap credit and money printing, you can do what the rich do and take advantage of the circumstances we find ourselves in with runaway house prices etc.

So lucky to listen to this one!

It's always said that buying a house is an unreachable dream. However, this audiobook blew me away!
I find it's so easy to understand the real estate business from mortgage loans to negotiation skills. The author also expounds on the government program for house buyers in easy-understood ways. Highly recommended for first-time buyers like me!

Practical and comprehensive, focused on the US

This is a very clear, practical and easy to understand guide for buying a house in the US. Most of the advice is universal and can also be useful when buying a property in the UK but this book alone won't be sufficient in that case. The thing which I liked the most about this book is that the author makes a very good and convincing point about the benefits of owning a house instead of just renting it.
