Essential knowledge,
This review is from: How to Save Thousands of Dollars on Your Home Mortgage (Paperback)
Written for North American readers in mind, nevertheless, fundamental concepts and techniques taught in this book can be very useable in UK or any English-speaking countries where practices are similar. Especially if one is considering to get mortgage for the first time, one must read this before visiting any mortgage provider.

Excellent! Read this book BEFORE you go loan shopping.,

This review is from: How to Save Thousands of Dollars on Your Home Mortgage (Paperback)
Mortgage broker Randy Johnson reveals the chicanery that exists in the home loan industry, so you won't get bamboozled on this expense of a lifetime. He also shows you how to find the real pros who care about their clients and know how to work the system. It's a real jungle out there in mortgage land. Don't even think about sitting down with a loan officer before you read this book!
5.0 out of 5 stars
This is the book most loan officers hope you won't read,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Save Thousands of Dollars on Your Home Mortgage (Paperback)
I've been in the industry for over seventeen years and I can tell you - this is one of the only mortgage books that really tells it like it is. If your idea of shopping for a mortgage includes picking up the local papaer or yellow pages and calling a bunch of different lenders to ask "what's your rate?", you're in trouble. Read the info on pages 113-118 to see why.Are you serious about shopping for a mortgage? Are you ready to set aside everything you think you know? Do you want a book that really "hits the nail on the head?" This is the book for you! Still undecided? How about this? - We like this book so much that we bought 500 copies to give to our mortgage customers. Do yourself a favor and put this book in your cart.
