From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by FGP, 02/01/97:
Discrimination is still a factor in the marketplace and women home buyers, especially single women, can be susceptible to being taken advantage of by sellers who think they can pull one over on you because you're a woman. Additionally, real estate brokers and lenders are sometimes wary of women purchasing homes by themselves. Your best defense is to know what you're talking about and this book covers virtually everything a first-time home buyer should know: what to look for in a home, how to prequalify for a mortgage, financing, house inspections, closing procedures-all presented in a question and answer format. Owning a home does take a certain amount of responsibility, but it's fun and it's a good investment. The stuff you need to know isn't difficult, and if you know what to expect and what questions to ask, it will remove a lot of anxiety from your first purchase.

Synopsis:
A book that deciphers the jargon, matches desires with means, keeps an eye on the details and helps first-timers land the home of their dreams. Glink gives tips for dealing step-by-step with the intricacies of negotiating a mortgage, checking to see that the dishwasher works, and everything in-between.

Excerpted from 100 Questions Every First-Time Home Buyer Should Ask by Ilyce R. Glink (as appears in The WomanSource Catalog & Review). Copyright(c) 1994. Reprinted by permission, all rights reser:
How Do You Know if the Loan Officer Is Doing His or Her Job?
Generally (and this includes extremely busy periods of low-interest-rate refinancing), the loan application shouldn't take more than three to four weeks in most areas for approval. Ask the loan officer how long the approval process should take....There's nothing wrong with a loan officer's calling to say that four pieces of documentation are missing from the file. But if you're getting multiple requests for documentation, then the loan officer didn't do his or her job at the beginning....It is wise to discuss any particular issues affecting your financial picture early in the process and preferably before you put down any money. Some of these issues might include credit problems, previous bankruptcies, divorces, recent job changes, etc.
