Confidence on the real estate road

As someone who has adamantly followed many Kiyosake-isms for the last couple of decades (the bank owns the house, you pay more over time with a mortgage, etc), I have actually avoided home ownership (mostly due to mortgages) and have been renting as cheaply as possible. And although the approach has allowed a certain amount of freedom, it also comes with not feeling like you truly habitat the space in which you live. So I am glad to have come across V J Dean’s “Buying Your First Home” title and come to the conclusion and realization that home ownership perhaps isn’t as scary and daunting as I had once believed. With excellent advise on budgeting, proper bidding strategy, deal closing, pitfall alerts, and just about everything else you could ever want to understand, I now feel a ton more confident going down this real estate road.

Buying a home

I struggle to find an excellent home for my family and don't know where to start. Here in Canada, it's getting expensive, and the streets are getting packed with traffic, so it's hard to find a home with a great price. I learned from the audiobook and from friends that when you buy your first home, the government can find a way to give you a great price. I had an idea of what I wanted from home, how much space I needed, which streets were best, etc. The audiobook gives practical tips, and I like the step-by-step guide and will keep this audiobook for my reference.

I was feeling completely lost and overwhelmed by the entire process when thinking about buying my first home.
