Buy a house

A ready-made journey for anyone who wants to buy a house: 9 steps, about 6.3 hours in all, in an order that works — work steps of 30 minutes or less, with real-world sessions kept whole.

Opens in Nextep with a two-minute first step lit. Free, and no account needed to begin.

When it's useful

When you have decided to buy a house but the first move is fuzzy. Nextep shows one step at a time, keeps the rest in order, and never calls anything overdue — a day that slips simply becomes today.
