Product Description
Find The Home Mortgage That′s Right For You

Finding the right mortgage can be complex, confusing, and frustrating. But that doesn′t mean you have to settle for anything other than the terms you want. This indispensable and newly updated second edition of How to Save Thousands of Dollars on Your Home Mortgage spells out everything mortgage hunters need to know in clear and accessible terms. It covers more loan alternatives than any other book and examines the importance of discount points. It offers complete details on virtually every mortgage option currently available, what advantages each option offers, how to choose the right one for your needs, and how to save money in the process. New information in this edition will help you use the Internet to find a home and get a mortgage, examine automated underwriting models and conforming loan limits, and weigh new shopping strategies. Easy–to–read charts and graphs, helpful sample forms, and numerous examples will help you understand:
∗ First–time buyers programs
∗ APR, buy–downs, reverse mortgages, accelerated payoffs, and zero point loans
∗ Refinancing strategies
∗ Closing costs, lender fees, and other expenses
∗ How to dispute credit report errors and fix credit problems
∗ How to use the Internet for loan analysis

From the Author
Simple rules to saving thousands of dollars.
The key to getting the best deal on your mortgage lies in understanding these three simple rules:

Ignorance is Expensive

Education is Cheap

Knowledge is Power

Lenders know 10 or 20 times as much as you do about loans so you start out at a tremendous disadvantage. If you want to negotiate a better deal, you had better be on an equal footing with them. To do that, you need to get an education and my book is the place to start. A mere $11.96 and four to five hours of effort can make a huge difference in making intelligent decisions about your family's financial future. True the promise in the title, you can save thousands of dollars.

This is an easy-to-read book that actually makes getting a loan fun. You will understand why it is the #1 selling mortgage book at amazon.com. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! Read this book BEFORE you go loan shopping., 3 Dec 1998
By A Customer
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, 7 Sep 1998
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars I saved over $800.00 dollars, 27 Aug 1998
By A Customer
After reading Randy's book, I felt I had a better handle on the morgage industry. Not only did I save money, but it took only three days for my loan to be underwrited. With key terms described, I could question my broker with confidence and bargain for lower fees.
