The Streetsmart Homebuyer: Investor Secrets Anyone Can Use to Buy a Home

The Streetsmart Homebuyer: Investor Secrets Anyone Can Use to Buy a Home Review

The Streetsmart Homebuyer outlines a step by step plan that anyone can use to purchase that sometimes elusive first home or make great real estate investments. Charles Steed, a veteran real estate investor since the early 1980s, illustrates techniques any determined individual can employ to get a super deal starting with even the most modest of resources.

The book does a great job explaining conventional real estate financing as well as some very innovative financing techniques. There are illustrations of the types of classified ads to look for, sample letters one may write to prospective sellers, and several role-playing examples of the all-important questions a buyer making first contact with a seller must ask. The book explains the advantages a buyer has when she compiles a team of like-minded professionals to work with her. There's even a chapter that explains how a buyer can raise cash for a down payment.

The author takes the reader on a carefully planned walk through the home buying process planning for all or the possibilities. The book is written in an easy to read, conversational style using many real examples from the author's investing experience.
