On inspections - would recommend a paid survey - namely because the average buyer isn't in a position to note a lot of faults.

Also, recommend a pointer on prioritising area over house - a great house in the wrong area won't sell so easily as a crap house in a great area.

Thanks for the feedback Brian.

I had someone suggest that the guide wasn't indepth enough and recommended adding the following sections just as a start:

Home Inspection Process
Finding the right Mortgage
Negotiating the Price
Finding Distressed Properties

Can you think of anymore sections that should be covered? I mean I can add to this bad boy all day long but at what point is it too much information for a general buyer or too long for someone to read? Should I perhaps make 2 versions? Advanced and Basic or something?

Looks like you have a good start on the guide. Some good info.

I would mention costs of property taxes and insurance. They need to be factored into the budget and/or they can be added to the monthly mortgage payment then paid by the lender.

I think it's comming together nicely and full of helpful information. I also like the idea of an advanced version and basic.
