This review is from: So You Want to Refinance: An Insiders Guide to Refinancing Adjustable Rate Mortgages and Home Loans (Paperback)

I've read that you have to watch those mortgage brokers, and have heard all of the horor stories - people losing their houses over bad home loan mortgage refinancing deals, and now I believe them!

This book covers the pitfalls, and I feel like now I'm getting a way better deal than I would have otherwise on my refinance. I'm glad to have locked in the fixed rate mortgage, since I had an option ARM and now I feel like my future is much more secure.

This book is handy to have around if you are refinancing for the first time, or want to get a better deal this time around.

Thank you to the author - great job.
