Summary
Details

Buying a home is a big deal-exciting, overwhelming, and seriously pricey-but with this book by your side, you've got everything you need to make it happen.

House It Going? A Fun and Practical Guide to Homebuying breaks down the homeownership journey step by step-without boring you to death.

From saving for your down payment (spoiler: it's not just about the mortgage) to navigating house tours, bidding wars, and escrow chaos, this guide helps you keep your cool while making one of the biggest purchases of your life.

You'll learn how to:

Budget for everything (yes, even the ""Oh Crap"" fund)

Spot red flags in listings before wasting your Saturday

Survive inspections, appraisals, and last-minute lender drama

Dip your toes into real estate investing without selling a kidney

And because buying a home isn't just checklists and credit scores, House It Going? includes practical extras to keep you organized and confident:

The Homebuying Budget Worksheet - Use your current income and expenses to create a realistic plan for what you can truly afford-before you fall in love with a home that wrecks your wallet.

Saving for Your Down Payment - A guided breakdown to help you strategize, prioritize, and hit your savings goals faster.

Home Maintenance Checklist - Know what to do (and when) after move-in so your dream home doesn't become a money pit. Investment Property Readiness Quiz - Wondering if you're ready to take the leap into landlord life? This quiz helps you assess your financial footing, mindset, and risk tolerance-so you can make your next move with confidence (or know what to work on first).

Whether you're a first-time buyer, future investor, or just seriously over renting, this book is your no-fluff, slightly sassy companion on the road to homeownership.

So grab a coffee (or a skinny margarita), channel your inner boss, and let's make homeownership happen.
