 very little substance April 29, 2007
1 out of 6 found this review helpful
As a first-time homebuyer, I was looking for some in-depth knowledge of mortgages. This wasn't it. It gave a very broad overview and told me very little that I didn't already know. It is fine for the true dummies out there.
 Loan Officer Info April 3, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book was wonderful to read even though it is geared toward the person buying a mortgage, and I am a loan officer, that sells the mortgage. It had numerous terms spelled out so they could be easily understood. It marked off warning signs of things to stay away from. I feel this book will be in my desk for use constantly.
 Good Introductory Book for Those Unfamiliar with Mortgages October 7, 2004
I didn't know a lot about mortgages before I read this book. I picked it up to learn more about any and all types of mortgages, and I wasn't disappointed. This title covers all necessary terminology, even the most basic (which is great for beginners like me).
The chapters are broken into logical sequence, and the autors do a very good job of directing you to relevant related chapters (e.g. telling you to skip ahead to a later chapter if you are not thinking about certain types of mortgages).
I cannot comment on whether this book would be too basic for those familiar with the industry, but it certainly is an appropriate introduction for mortgage "dummies" like me.
Great Book for mortgage buyers April 11, 2004
9 out of 14 found this review helpful
If you are contemplating buying a home, then this book is a must. Everthing is in here. So complete.I followed this advice in buying my own home. It works and samed me a bundle. By contrast, I tried to follow advice in JBQ's book and found that most was outdated and the rest was ineffective.
Extremely helpful in getting our mortgage October 2, 2003
17 out of 19 found this review helpful
I read this book shortly before we signed to build a home, and I can't say how helpful it has been. Knowing how mortgages work (especially ARMs) and the right questions to ask has definitely changed the treatment we have received from various mortgage companies. We ended up going with our builder for financing and after dealing with them, I get the impression that a lot of people DON'T read up on mortgages and just take whatever is offered. Don't just trust the mortgage companies to give you the best deal - read this first and arm yourself for negotiating!
