Book Synopsis
The purchase of a house is the single largest investment we are likely to make in our lifetime. It is also a decision that we should make only after studying and comparing houses that we are considering purchasing. The decision to purchase a house is a decision we should not take likely.
The average homeowner should not expect to be an expert in plumbing, electricity, framing, and the other disciplines required to build a home. But I believe that everyone can come to a reasonable understanding on the elements of home construction and the relative quality of construction materials with a minimal investment of time. Armed with this information you can approach the process of home buying with greater knowledge and confidence.
In general, the old adage "you get what you pay for" applies to houses as well as any other purchases. Knowledge is power. Become an informed buyer and a happy home owner after reading “A Buyer’s Guide to Home Construction.”
