摘要:Buying a home is a lot like starting a business. There are all kinds of financial considerations to make from getting adequate insurance to deciding when and if to refinance. In addition, there are the practical considerations of operating the new home from modernizing the heating/air condition system to changing windows to double-pane. What are the pitfalls? Which are the traps to avoid? and what must new home owners do to protect their investment? The answers are found in the comprehensive, TIPS AND TRAPS FOR THE NEW HOME OWNER. It begins with a complete check of the basic financials that every home owner must know. Recording keeping, timing the refinance, minimizing taxes and more are explained. Then in a second section, the operation of the home is outlined from a thorough before move-in checklist to an annual maintenance schedule. TIPS AND TRAPS FOR THE NEW HOME OWNER contains all the information that an owner needs to move-in, financially operate, and successfully maintain a home. There's never been a book quite like this, yet every one of the 6 million new home owner's each year wishes he or she had one.
