This review is from: The home buyer income qualification manual: Includes comprehensive HP-17B and HP-19B routines (Spiral-bound)

This book admittedly covers some basics of home buyer income qualification, the algorithms geared for the HP-17BII, HP-19BII, and as well they will work on the HP-17BII+ BECAUSE I DID NOT USE LET AND GET or other built-in features available on the HP-17BII/HP-19BII. You should note that while some buyers from me find this book of high value because the equations do not use any of HP's built-in actuarial functions, still, in my opnion you are better off with my "Professional Real Estate Problem Solving Using the HP-17BII". It is a huge value. My HP-17BII real estate book covers an ansolute "ton" of materials, being around 320 or so pages off the top of my head! I do lots of buyer income qualification in that book; the equations/solver-equations are much broader than those in the "reviewed" Home Buyer Income Qualification Manual.
If you are an instructor who teaches the HP-17BII/HP-19BII and are big on the area of buyer income qualification, then this book will be of value to you. If you are not an instructor or frankly not looking for a little different "twist" on strictly conventional buyer income qualification, then I'd pass on the Home Buyer Income Qualification manual but I would strongly consider my Professional Real Estate Problem Solving Using the HP-17BII.
