5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and easy to understand plus helping others, November 14, 2009
Saving Your American Dream: How to Secure a Safe Mortgage, Protect Your Home & Improve Your Financial Future

I was looking for information when we decided it might be smart to refinance. What I learned from reading the book - the difference between lenders and brokers etc, what to look for on the GFE and what to expect at closing (just to name a few things) - was instrumental in helping me through our refinance. Also the information in the credit section WOW! I honestly had no clue...thought I kind of did before but after reading it I was blown away. I loved the writing style of the book as well - very easy to read and information broken down so things made sense. I also think it is really cool that the book is going to be used to help people too. I hope their national campaign is able to make a difference and assist good people who need it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone should own this book!, November 11, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
With this economy I don't spend money lightly, but this is one purchase I'm glad I made. Most books about lending and finance make you fall asleep with all the industry terms you can't understand. As I read the book I was surprised that it was such a simple read, and how much I understood. The layout of the book makes perfect sense. It starts by teaching you about lending, mortgages and how the business works. Then it shows you how to take that information and apply it when you are seeking a loan or working to better your financial situation.

In the back there are tools you can use to keep track and better your finances. You can also take advantage of the authors extensive knowledge and contact him for additional help. In this these times it's nice to see a person who sincerely wants to help people.

I have recommended this book to friends. I am better for it and know they will be too.
