Awesome and very informative. Very detailed and to the point.

By Dorothy Connors on 10/21/2020

Nice and simplistic. Some items are outdated or don't provide enough detail, but overall a worthwhile course and very informative especially for a younger audience.

Love this subject!!

By GLORIA FELIX on 9/26/2020

Great Class a lot of good information

By David ODonovan on 9/23/2020

I really like the content, the energy the guys (and girl!) bring. But I feel like the total content length is less than I am used to pay for for other similar courses. Now that is not necessarily a bad thing (for example this is a course I could direct my wife to) it is not as deep as it what I suspected. I dont mean to criticize the course creators. What they did is valuable. The key problem is that Udemy does not let us sample course content well. So when we buy we dont know what we buy. So this is a great course. But I am not necessarily the target audience. But I had no way to know that before I bought.

Fix the title! "How Buying A Home Work(S)" Speaker was a bit choppy in this section. Also, discuss points - this is such a big topic now!

Very useful information

By Darshana Bandara Ratnayake on 8/23/2020

seems its awesome outline . well explain in simple manner

By Marco Camacho on 8/17/2020

I did not like this course because it is only focus in US. I think this needs to be added to the description of the course that is mainly for the US citizens and does not apply to the rest of the world. Also one of the instructors speak toooo fast that for non native english speakers. I believe that now that we live in a global community, people (specially americans) should realize that there are people outside the US that have access to Udemy. Thank you!
