Chapter 1: Who Should Read This Book
Although this book is entitled, The First Time Home Buyers Guide
anyone interested in being a homeowner should read it. EVEN IF YOU HAVE BAD CREDIT.
Here is a little secret if you are one of those people who dream of buying a home but fear it because of bad credit. IT IS EASIER THAN YOU THINK TO REPAIR YOUR CREDIT.
I highly recommend that you go checkout this site if you are having credit problems - go now and visit www.A1CreditRepairKit.com. Even if you have horrible credit you can always find an institution that will give you a loan. However that loan will come at a cost. When I say cost... That is exactly what I mean. These institutions will charge you an outrageous interest rate - thats the bad news. The good news is you can start repairing your credit and once you have done that (depending on your contract agreement) you can get your home refinanced at a lower interest rate.
The reason you want to purchase a home does not matter. This book covers the entire home buying process from A-Z, and I was sure to leave no stone unturned. So grab a pen and paper and prepare to take some notes, and lets get you ready to buy a home.

Chapter 2: Introduction
The mere fact that you are reading this book means that you are ready to take the next step in your life. You are considering buying a home either for financial reasons or your simply tired of spending your hard earned money on rent. For most people this is one of the most exciting times in their lives outside of their first born child.
Although you have reached the moment of your dreams it is important that you have a plan, and do not get caught up in the excitement. I am referring to looking at properties, deciding whether to buy a home or build a new one, and finding financing. Those are just a few of the things that you will be doing that will take up the majority of your time when investing in your first home.
To give you an idea of what lies ahead I have composed a little list:
* Finding the right neighborhood
* Finding a home that is big enough
* Finding the features you are looking for
* Choosing the right size yard
* Choosing a Realtor
* Understanding the housing market
* The ins and outs of home inspection
* Financing
* Making an offer, and
* Reading contracts
The list above does not even scratch the surface of things that you must do such as the decorating, various home improvements, and other decisions that you will have to be faced with when buying a home.
For most people buying a home will be the biggest investment that they will make in their lives. It is only natural to be a bit nervous at first, after all this is new territory for you.
Most people will begin doubting themselves, and asking the question, am I doing the right thing?
If you are a first time home buyer, you will be nervous about finding the right home, investing money on a down payment, and being approved for financing. After you have bought the home, you may even start to have feelings of regret after awhile. This symptom is so common in first time home buyers that psychologist have even developed a name for it - it is called, Buyers Remorse.
Keep in mind that after you have bought your first home it is not like buying a pair of shoes or an automobile where you can take immediate possession. With a home it could take anywhere from two to three months before you will be able to move in. In the meantime, you should plan the following:
* Moving arrangements
* Home inspections
* Yard sales
* Budgeting for paint and other supplies
* Taking time off from work, and
* Finding a lawyer if necessary
You DO NOT want to wait to deal with some of these
