If books aren't your best way to learn, I suggest checking out adult education offers in your area.
Many community colleges offer courses in home buying.
The only limit with such courses, as with their offerings in investing, is that they are often taught by industry professionals. While they provide good information, it usually needs to be seasoned with salt. Adjustables don't work in the current interest rate market. Many real estate professionals are still fond of 30 year mortgages. While they were a good deal a generation ago when interest rates were about the same as the inflation rate, they are not attractive today with inflation running at less than 3 percent while interest rates are at least 6.5 percent.
