Product Description
From Amazon
For many of us, the single biggest financial transaction is buying a house. Even more significant than the hefty down payment we fork over is the 15- to 30-year mortgage that needs feeding every month. If you have this much at stake, a little knowledge can go a long way, which is where Eric Tyson and Ray Brown come in. In Mortgages for Dummies, Tyson and Brown (who also wrote Home Buying for Dummies and House Selling for Dummies) provide a comprehensive introduction for anyone who is contemplating a mortgage. The book tells you how to evaluate your creditworthiness, determine your borrowing power, and shop for a lender, as well as covering the various types of loans. The authors also devote a section to refinancing and discuss what you should consider when prepaying a loan. They include amortization and remaining-balance tables, and a useful glossary. Whether you're a first-time home buyer or are just looking to refinance, you'll find this a valuable, easy-to-use guide. --Harry C. Edwards

Great Book for mortgage buyers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mortgages For Dummies (Paperback)
If you are contemplating buying a home, then this book is a must. Everthing is in here. So complete.I followed this advice in buying my own home. It works and samed me a bundle. By contrast, I tried to follow advice in JBQ's book and found that most was outdated and the rest was ineffective.

Extremely helpful in getting our mortgage,
By kennancat "kennancat" (Mountain View, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mortgages For Dummies (Paperback)
I read this book shortly before we signed to build a home, and I can't say how helpful it has been. Knowing how mortgages work (especially ARMs) and the right questions to ask has definitely changed the treatment we have received from various mortgage companies. We ended up going with our builder for financing and after dealing with them, I get the impression that a lot of people DON'T read up on mortgages and just take whatever is offered. Don't just trust the mortgage companies to give you the best deal - read this first and arm yourself for negotiating!

Do not go Home buying without reading this first !!!!!,
By Diego Caban (San Juan, PR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mortgages For Dummies (Paperback)
This book has done a great job in explaining and putting in simple, understandable words all the mortgage techicals and jargon. The mortage offical that originated my loan application was amazed at how much i knew about the matter (if she only knew). Seriously, if you want to get the deal that benefits you the most, then get this book and save hundreds and maybe thousands on closing costs and interest rates during the life of your loan. It will only cost you $16.99 and some little time to read and understand. Hope your have a great deal!!!
