5.0 out of 5 stars Quick, Easy Read with Valuable Info, February 26, 2009

By	Drew Laughlin "Author of Expect Success" (Omaha, NE) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great little book that covers all the details for first time home buyers. It covers specific details like the best kind of mortgage for a new home buyer, the different kind of loans, their pros and cons and my favorite chapter was the one that explains equity and why we pay so much interest. That chapter alone is invaluable for the first time home buyer.

This is a comprehensive, easy and entertaining read about different kinds of mortgages for home buyers. It provides important and reasonable judgement about how to select a mortgage and negotiate a good deal. Wrong moves can cost dearly, which is why this book is a wonderful guidance for many home buyers in these trying times of real estate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy read, December 27, 2008

By	SassyBanjo (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews

This is a simple, easy to read..straight talk about mortgages and the various types available. There are many homebuyers who need a book like this before they sign on the dotted-line and accept a mortgage payment.

As the book points out, it's important to understand that a mortgage should benefit the home buyer and not just the bank or financial institution. There are many home buyers now in foreclosure who greatly needed the guidance this book provides.
