Disclosure:

In the interest of full transparency, please note that I am not a licensed real estate professional, and do not have the same level of technical experience and understanding that a real estate agent, broker, title agent, real estate attorney or other such professional will have. This course is based on the actual process that I went through in buying my home, and the hours and hours of research, interviews and ground work that I did in order to get a great deal. I believe that as one new home buyer to another, that this course will be of great value to you, I just want to be transparent and up-front.

I did save over $90,000 on my home purchase, which is over the course of the life of the loan. It is important to consider out of pocket expenses today, as well as into the future. I have not adjusted this number for “net present value” or inflation or any other financial techniques to increase it. I have simply added up the savings I will be enjoying today, and over the course of the loan and report them as is.
