One of America's leading consumer advocates and popular talk show hosts offers his tips and tricks to successfully buying and selling real estate -- in any market Real estate -- whether in a boom or a bust economy -- is still a good investment, but only if you make smart and patient choices. There is a lot of confusing information out there, and many people find it increasingly difficult to navigate the ever-changing world of real estate without losing their shirts, or their minds. In Clark Smart Real Estate, talk show host and bestselling author Clark Howard presents the best of his experience as a consumer advocate. In his simple and clear style, he shows readers how they can build wealth slowly over time through real estate, and how they can capitalize on -- and protect themselves from -- the real estate market's many fluctuations over the long term.

When should you buy your first home? Is it better to purchase a preexisting house or one newly built? What are some hidden closing costs, and how can you avoid them? Should you sell your home yourself? How does one shop for a mortgage? What are the costs of refinancing? Sound advice in a handy format -- this is what Clark Howard's readers have been waiting for, and it's just in time to help the multitudes flummoxed by today's conflicting real estate market.

Home Buyers Beware If you've haven't purchased a home before, I would advise you to purchase this checklist and get advice form others who have been through the home buying process. Don't rely entirely on your real estate agents or it could cost you a small fortune, it happened to me. I bought a home in 1983 and filed for bankruptcy in 1985, because I thought I knew what to look for and who to trust. Wow!..... Was I ever wrong.... I paid about 35% more than I should have for a house two years later I couldn't even sell. The Real Estate Salesman even convinced us he would help us with the down payment. He was very clever. Latter I found out he had got another 2,500 dollars out of the transaction. I learned a lesson I will never forget, but unscrupulous Home owners and Real Estate Professionals BEWARE!!!! This home buying checklist is going to put you out of business. I created this checklist because my family had been telling me for years to put my money where my mouth is and do something about it. There are over 300 questions on the home buying checklist. I compiled this list of questions from over 30 years in the construction business, dealing with problems from unsatisfied home buyers. I'm the person they have to call when they finally realize they bought a house with problems.

Discover the (surprising) secret to lifelong financial freedom with real estate investing. Real estate has always been a powerful tool for investing, and many people believe that a single-family home investment strategy will help them achieve their goals. However, the true path to financial freedom using real estate is found in apartment buildings. Real estate investing expert and author Michael Blank learned that once investors did their first deal, the curious "Law of the First Deal" led to the second and third deals in rapid succession. Most were able to quit their jobs within 3-5 years of getting started. Of course, when most people hear "apartment buildings" they immediately assume they need years of investing experience and money saved up to be able get into the game. This simply isn't true. Michael has compiled the results of his research into his new book, Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing: The Blueprint to Quitting Your Job with Real Estate - Even without Experience or Cash. He's outlined the "Financial Freedom Blueprint" that guides you through your first multifamily deal, even if you have no prior experience or your own cash.
