The biggest purchase of your life, one step at a time. A guided, undated workbook that takes first-time buyers from "can we afford this?" through closing and the first year — with the worksheets to make every number real.
Home buying isn't one decision — it's a hundred, in order. The workbook walks the real path, from the first affordability check to the first year in the house.
Affordability worksheets, debt-to-income, and a true monthly-cost picture beyond the mortgage payment.
Savings targets, closing-cost estimates, and the trade-offs between putting more down and keeping reserves.
Side-by-side lender and loan comparisons so you can see the real cost difference, not just the rate.
Home-tour scorecards to compare every showing on the same terms — and remember which house was which.
Offer-strategy notes, an inspection checklist, and a closing-day walkthrough so nothing gets missed.
New-owner costs, a maintenance calendar, and a first-year budget for life after the keys.
The digital edition is the Home Buying & Mortgage Workbook — with working affordability, mortgage-comparison, amortization, and rent-vs-buy calculators in Excel & Google Sheets. Available now while the paperback finishes printing.
