Testimonials
Allison Hedstrom

"My friend was beginning to look for a house. After she read Michael Delaware's book entitled 'Going Home... Renting to Home Ownership in 10 Easy Steps', she called me really excited because she had learned so much about fixing her own credit. My friend told me that because she and her husband had taken a few of the steps he recommended in the book, that they were able to qualify for a loan at a much better interest rate than they previous expected after they disputed some things they did not know were there on their credit report. They were lucky enough to be able to get a few things removed in a matter of a couple of weeks, and recently met with a loan officer a few days ago. So following their experience, I read the book myself, and I was amazed at how much I did not know about repairing credit and buying a house. It helped me to understand how to straighten some issues out on my credit as well, and I am now working on that. I also found his book extremely informative in helping to get into the right mindset on how to buy a house, and I wish I had known some of these things when I bought the house I have now. Should I ever need to go looking for a house again I am definitely going to follow these steps! Looking back, it would have saved me a lot of money."
