Buying & Selling: Good Ol' Fashioned Advice

CNN Money has a great roundup of four common homeownership nightmares, including paying for home repair, PMI, paying too much PMI, and dealing with an ARM reset.

This is the kind of thing I like to see--commonsense advice for home issues, instead of silly frothy exuberance about how great it is to own homes, or miserly "THE BUBBLE IS BURSTING" doom from the Internets.

Bankrate also excels at this sort of thing, and this week they have an in-depth look at whether a home equity loan is right for you. I wish the Bankrate writers would take a more skeptical stance on their coverage of housing issues, but I can't argue with their advice. Opinions are nice, but facts are gold. :)

What are some other good advice/informational sites or blogs you might recommend?
