This is definitely one of the most comprehensive books on house purchase, as the author guides you through every step of the entire complex process, including examining one's own needs, picking the most suitable type of houses and the right locations, interpreting the current trend of housing prices, making bids, signing contracts, and paying required taxes.
Aside from warning readers about the many shenanigans and trickeries they could face along the way, the book also features a discussion on how to pick houses close to metro stations that may see the most price appreciation in the future.
