The financial issues associated with buying a home are the reasons why most people succeed or fail. As a former mortgage broker I’ve helped many clients deal with the home buying financial issues properly. They are now home owners. I also saw people struggle with the money issues of buying a home. They were not financially prepared to buy a house. The frustration issue many times was that they did not understand the financial issues to buy a home. So, I was driven to create this Home Buyer’s Financial Guide.
