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.

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.

Understanding Mortgages: A Beginners Guide to Mortgages is easy to understand and is packed with current information. This little paperback gives you the straight dope on what you need to know to comprehend the different aspects of mortgages..it prepares you with knowledge and the lingo so you're speaking the lender's language. This scoop will keep you from going into a mortgage blindly. It's a handy book for these trying times of real estate that can help you stay on top of the situation.

I got a tidbit or two out of it, but it read like a C+ college term paper. Waste of time and money. There was more fluff than content and most of the material was things I already knew, even though I have never purchased a home, very basic. Poor grammar, spelling etc. I didn't know there was stuff like this out there on Amazon. I am very suspicious of the other reviews, I don't see how anyone would give this 5 stars...

This is a great book for the topic. It is a good read and is written in conversational tone that allows the reader to be comfortable with the content even though it is new. Great tips and real down to life information that will give you the low down on the subject. Many books try to cover the subject with technical terms and information that is not relevant. This book is different. Definitely worth the money.
