Customer Reviews

Excellent information
This is an excellent book on mortgage financing. Many times people don't realize that getting a good interest rate can save them a lot of money on monthly payments and over a period of 30 years, it adds up. This book covers topics such as loan-to-value ratios, loan shopping, the loan application process, discount points, seller financing, refinancing costs, time value of money, and adjustable rate mortgages. If you are a home buyer, investor, or real estate professional, you should definitely understand the topics covered in this book. I think that if more people understood mortgage financing, they would have not gotten themselves into adjustable rate mortgages that contributed to a lot of foreclosures during the current economic crisis.
