When you look at how-to advice available to home buyers on mortgages, real estate agents and home inspectors, most of it comes from banks and industry representatives. It has a bias and is often not consumer-friendly. Need to do homework before buying a home.

I wish more people would invest in the home buying process. Homebuyers will likely get their money’s worth from a course like this before they even take possession of their home.

I’m teaching a U of T course on how to buy a house. If you’re in the market and need advice, it’s a good deal ($245). Classes will be in person Thursday night from 6:30-8:30 pm., March 9 to April 13, @UofTSCS downtown campus.
