is a concise, practical book on how to identify quality when buying
a home.
Whether considering a modest rambler or
something more elaborate, this quick read will enable the prospective
homebuyer to recognize key features that distinguish a low maintenance,
comfortable living home from one that will involve on-going repairs
and headaches (saving thousands of dollars). To facilitate the process,
a checklist is included to guide the homebuyer.
The reader will learn—
- What pitfalls can disqualify
a home
- What’s lurking/lacking
in newer homes
- How to evaluate a home's electrical,
plumbing, heating, and air conditioning systems
- What kind of siding and roofing
is best

inspection (saving $$$ by avoiding multiple home inspections)
- And more vital information
