Whether you're buying or refinancing, this updated guidebook provides you with the knowledge you need to protect yourself and your home - including the latest government information affecting mortgages. Inside, you'll find facts on the different kinds of mortgages available - 20+ varieties, including adjustable, assumable, buy downs, conforming and nonconforming, convertible, farmer's home loan, FHA, fixed rate, fixed rate with balloon, graduated payment, and rent with option to buy. You'll read about the advantages and disadvantages of each, and what kinds of loans to avoid. Most important, you'll find out which one is right for you - depending on your age, particular needs and financial situation. This book takes the mystery out of caps, margins, points, and how they're figured. It answers the question, "What is P.M.I.?" It gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the mortgage bank, a rundown of what questions to ask, and a clear roundup of closing costs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mortgage Loans "What's Right For You ?", January 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Mortgage Loans: What's Right for You? (Paperback)

I am in the market for my 1st home that is a reason I have read several " mortgage books ". I highly recommend this book. The author explained different loans in great details. He also including a current realistic budget I used before getting over my head. I am confidence I will save money on my new purchase. The only down fall I wished there was a current issue. I would like to have compared 1997 to 2001 editions, to see if the loan process has changed into the 21st century.
