USA Today (04/26/2010)
This article in the USA Today will help in the paper buy using the statements that the people are saying about home buying for first time homebuyers. There is a great quote from one of them saying, “I tell people there are no stupid questions. Ask anything you don’t understand”. Also the steps they point out for people to take when they are interested in buying a home. This source breaks it down into simple steps and some of the other sources go into more depth on the subject. The suggestions throughout the article will help in writing of this paper.
Bray, Ilona, Schroeder, Alayna & Stewart, Marcia “Nolo’s Essential Guide to Buying Your First Home.”
This book has all the information I was looking for in this research paper. It has the perfect flow to it discussing the different options for first time homebuyers. Talking over reasons it is good to own a home, along with the steps of buying a home. There are several parts of this book that I will use in the research paper. All the different resources available for people in both websites and forms that the book provides. The book also does good job talking over all the different loan options available and points out the pros and cons of each type of loans available. Something else that I was thinking of using is when talking over the home inspectors portion of my paper all the hints that the book provided for finding a good inspector. Along with the details on the forms that this book provided. Another resource this book will provide is steps of building your team of professionals when buying a home.
Anderson, Thomas M. “Home Buying for Begginers.”
Kiplinger’s Personal Finance May 2010 Vol. 64 issues 5, p78-79
The article started off useless for my paper. There is a part in the first half for a resource of a website that an agent used to narrow down search for homes. The second part of the article Clinch the Deal was of more help with both steps before you make an offer, and then the contingencies that you should have when you buy a home. I plan to use the saying you can negotiate almost anything in my paper with some areas the author points out could be negotiated.
Sykes, Tanisha A, Curry, Sheree R. “Buying Your First Home?”
Black Enterprise August 2007 Vol. 38 issue 1, p76-82
What a great article helping to discuss the process of buying a home. The pointers that they give are top notch. Thinking of using several parts of this article in my paper. The two reasons that home ownership is important. The pointers of making disputes on your credit report, and how the agencies have only 30 days to respond or must be removed from your credit report. Along with if you are paying off any bills in collection attempt to settle at 50% of the total. Throughout this article like the other book have great resources on websites that you can use during the buying process.
