Six short chapters, in the order you meet them — from why people buy at all to what not to do once you have applied.

Why owning changes more than your address. The security, pride and comfort homeowners report — and the room to work from home that came with all of it.
What a moving market means for you. Why mortgage rates rise and fall, and why a payment that never changes is worth having while rents keep climbing.
The words your lender will use. Down payment, mortgage rate, credit score, closing costs, appraisal, pre-approval letter and equity, each defined in a line.
Every step, from first call to keys. The order it happens in — building your team, checking credit, shopping, offering, inspection, appraisal, closing and moving day.
What not to do after you apply. Six things that can unsettle a file in underwriting, from a new credit card to a large deposit nobody expected.
How to be ready before you start. Your non-negotiables, your budget, your savings and the paperwork worth gathering before you talk to anyone about a loan.
