You are here because you are wondering how you can find and buy an affordable home. You’ve been asking yourself:

Will I ever get my finances into home buying shape?
How and where can I find an affordable home that I want to buy?
I’m starting from scratch, can I get a step-by-step home buying guide?PETbook-cover-sm

I’ve distilled tons of information into a customizable Action Plan that starts with over 20 things you can do in the next 30 days to get ready to buy your own home. This is how I did it myself. The answers are right here!

Finding Your Own Home answers questions like:

- Where in the USA can I find affordable housing?
- Can I find a great house without moving too far?
- I’ve got debts and little savings, can I buy my own home?
- Will I be ready to move in about a year?
- Will this action plan really put money in my pocket fast?
- If I move, do I get a new job first or a house first?

Which Way Do We Go?    

If you have pets or kids, you have to plan for the next decade or two very carefully considering the financial issues in play in 2008 - the incredible banking crisis, the threat of a temporarily mandated minimum wage in California, the inevitable crash of the housing bubble, the exorbitantly increasing cost of cat food, litter, fuel, and other essentials.... We want our financial future to be a bit more predictable!

For those of you who wanted to buy a home five years ago when interest rates were low, you have a second chance with this new, customizable home buying guide. For the first time home buyer, this guide is a very serious action plan designed to get you on the path to home ownership even if you are just starting from scratch. The Guide provides a detailed list of 21 FREE and easy things you can do in the next 30 days to get started on the path to buying your first home (14 you can do right now)! We distilled tons of information to identify the key methods for buying your first home. The Guide provides a realistic timeline, checklists, links, personal examples, and a practical path for getting from where you are right now - all the way to your own front door.

  • The Pet Lover’s Home Buying Guide is available in a full color E-book.
  • The Cat Lover’s Guide is available in an E-book and a full color printed edition!
  • And we have created a fun House Hunting Kit for Cat Lover’s, too!

Each E-book is only $10 ‘out the door’ and each contributes to a pet-centric charity! The detailed plan is Realtor Approved, and special sections were reviewed carefully by a veterinarian.  Each printed or E-Guide includes over 50 colorful photos, travel tips, and important safety and veterinary advice for house hunting, as well as moving and traveling with pets. The Cat Lover’s Guide is very cat centric, and the Cat Lover’s House Hunting Kit includes cool cat accessories, too. Don’t you think it’s time to get out of the ‘rental rut’ and get a home of your own?
