Home-Ownership is Hard, But Not Impossible

How many times have you started on the path to home-ownership only to be thrown off course by mountains of information, a lack of good advice and fast-talking sales people looking to make a quick buck?

Home-ownership is a decision, one that will change your life and your financial future. To get there requires finding the right people to help you arrive with grace and less anxiety while avoiding the grind and grunge caused by fakers and takers of your time, energy and effort.

The impossible becomes possible once you surround yourself with the right team, resources and a process that keeps you on task, on course and focused on the result: home-ownership!

The 12 Steps to Home-Ownership Online Course presents a personal do-it-yourself mandate to getting on track to purchase a home. The course provides tools and guidance for asking the right questions as you make your way through the home-buying decision-making process.

Sequence is the Key to Success

In this online course, as you work through each module you can immediately set about the task of becoming a home-owner with little guess-work. You will be asking the right questions that guide your path to the goal while side-stepping parts and places that get most people confused, off track and unable to recover. While others are stuck with no way out you will keep moving from step to step having reached the goal!

I loved the course because it was not only fun and interesting, but the material was great and helped me learn not only about purchasing a home, but about understanding the real estate field.  The course was easy to navigate through and great for note taking. I strongly suggest this course and any of John Wilhoit's material on first-time home buying, re-financing, and rental properties.

Answering the question of where you want to live creates a queasy feeling for many people; because we know where we “want” to live, then there is where we can afford to live. Balancing these two is discussed in depth as part of the process of buying your first home.

Making a Quality Decision for You and Your Family

This course is designed to prepare you for that moment in time when you can sign a contract for a home with confidence knowing that you’ve made a quality decision.

I believe the contents of this course will set you on a path to home-ownership. Home-ownership is the bedrock of building personal wealth. There is no buying a second home, or third, without first buying the first one, right? Of course, there is far more to the process than just picking out a home with pretty colors and a nice door front.

What the Federal Reserve Knows About Home-Ownership

The Federal Reserve is run by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve Board of Governors is nominated by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate. Their role is to protect and preserve the economy of the country. Once every three years the Federal Reserve completes a survey of consumers that includes information related to home-ownership.

The outputs of this survey range in value from one survey to the next, but the bottom line is this; homeowners are found to have a net worth of thirty to fifty times greater than non-homeowners. That’s 30 to 50 times greater!!!
