However,  my research on the whole real estate process was limited to just about no research!  I didn’t know who to ask, so I didn’t seek counsel of anyone.  I went into it with blind trust.  I didn’t obtain the best mortgage for my situation.  I didn’t even live in the property for much more than a year.   When I sold it, that too was done without a lot of thought or research into the tax implications or future.

Fortunately now there are many more resources available.   And women have lots of company.  In fact, the second largest homebuying group, after married couples, is single women.  That’s why I wrote my book, You Don’t Need A Diamond To Buy Real Estate — to help single women find, buy and finance real estate.
