Not a book for beginners...,
By
This review is from: Buying & Selling a Home (Paperback)
My suggestion is to read The Complete Idiot's Guide to Buying and Selling a Home, or a comparable beginners book, before reading this one.You need to know the basic home buying process and terminology first. The greatest value of the Kiplinger book is on the elaborate discussion on financial and tax issues related to buying and selling a home. The book is divided into two major sections, each starting with those two issues (why buy/sell, tax repercussions), before discussing the buying/selling process. I found the discussion on tax benefits of home ownership, tax breaks on mortgage interests, and tax laws that allow tax-free profits from selling your primary residence, very informative. It has many sample forms used in the home buying/selling process. You might find the details overwhelming, but that's because there's so much great info which is not covered in Idiot/Dummy books.

I actually could not even complete the book. I feel that the prose is somewhat circular and felt that the book was disorganized. However, my main problem was with the writing. I had a difficult time following the book.

good with House Selling for Dummies,
By robert b (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Buying and Selling a Home (Buying & Selling a Home) (Paperback)
I was only interested in the "selling" part. It was quite good. With both this and House Selling for Dummies in hand, you'll have everything you need to sell your home.I highly recommend it.
