Since beginning the process of buying my first home, I’ve had at least a few friends ask me for input on how the process works — where to begin, what to look for, etc. As a first-time buyer myself, I’m the first to admit that it’s an overwhelming process. But I love this stuff.

I’ve done a ton of research — read books, created spreadsheets, have learned some great strategies — and I’m certain this is only the beginning of the learning. For me, I’ve always learned best by doing — getting in there and getting my hands dirty.

In any case, I’m not one to toot my own horn, but I think I’ve gained some knowledge that could benefit others — especially younger people looking to purchase their first home. It’s a daunting, but rewarding prospect, and one more easily achieved when armed with the right tools.

Having worked in the e-learning industry the past five or so years, I’ve spent a lot of time with online training content, but have thus far steered clear of creating my own. I’m considering venturing down that road.

I’m curious about what kind of response I might get to such a venture. Sure, there are tons of resources out there, but I think what would differentiate mine would be a sense of personality and that my “training” would be based on personal experience rather than on generic guidebook pointers.

So please do let me know what you think about this. I think it might be fun for me not only to chronicle my experience of home ownership, but to spread the knowledge for others to learn from, too.
