5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to the industry, February 2, 2005

By	R. Lakshmanan "Ram" (Chesterfield, Missouri USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recommend this book to all those who want to get familiar with the U.S. Mortgage/Residential Lending industry. This book provides a good historical perspective of the industry and its development in the U.S., and explains the mortgage process from soup-to-nuts - right from the application stage to the servicing and default management stage. As an industry professional, I have benefited a lot from reading this book. I have also recommended it to many friends and associates who have benefited a lot as well. The most appealing aspects of this book are that it is comprehensive, simple-to-read, and interesting.
