HOMEBUYER - THE HOME BUYING KIT
Version: 	2.00
System Requirements:  If your system can run Windows 3.1 or Windows 95, it can run HomeBuyer.

What does HomeBuyer do?
HomeBuyer helps you to determine if renting or owning is better for you, calculate your house hunting price range, compare and graph different loan packages. HomeBuyer also helps you organize your housing search and prioritize your housing needs.  But there is more to buying a house than calculations and lists.   The online book  takes you from the renting versus-owning-decision through house hunting, purchase offers, until you finally close escrow.  And the state-by-state database provides a wealth of home-buying information for every state in the nation.  

What do I do after I down load it?
The file is called "home200.exe." In file manager (Windows 3.1) or Windows Explorer (Windows 95), double click on the file and the installation will begin.
