Many Americans lack knowledge of basic concepts about home ownership, including misconceptions about mortgage terms and knowledge about home buying, maintenance, and renovation, as well as home building, a new study has revealed.

The study was conducted in May by Lombardo Homes, a Midwest home builder specializing in new construction in Michigan and Missouri, which surveyed close to 1,000 people nationwide aged 18–77.
