A Very Complete Book
(NY) April 6, 2000 - 5.0/5 stars

I never bought real estate in my life. I never shopped for a mortgage in my life. But after reading this book I am extremely well versed in both.

I have been interviewing both buyer's brokers and mortgage lenders and I am extremely well prepared when I call them and when they walk thru the door to meet with me. Buying a home is probably the most money any of us will ever spend at one time. Why not be totally prepared to do it. We spend countless hours reading thru Consumer Reports just to buy a micorowave or a VCR. Don't you think you should be spend hours upon hours studying real estate, mortgages, taxes, etc.?

I certainly do. That's why I picked up this book. In total I've read about 6-7 books on the subject. This is definitely one of the better ones.

It is comprehensive, informative and detailed. I found myself underlining and using the language and suggestions in the book when talking to the brokers and the lenders.

Many of them were impressed with the amount of information I knew about THEIR business. I am in the process now of negotiating my mortgage and so far I've gotten the lenders to decrease the points by .50 PLUS they agreed to pick up some of the closing costs as well.

This could mean a sunstantial savings to the bottom line, maybe $2000-3000. We're not talking clipping coupons here anymore!

Buy the book. Save some money. Learn about your subject. Knowledge is Power. If you know what they know, they can't screw you.
