Customer Rating: Summary: must have for loan officers Comment: if you are new to the business or a vet in the business this is the the best mortgage book in the market. Customer Rating: Summary: Mortgage Books Comment: This was one of several books I ordered as learning and reference tools as I embark on my new career as a loan officer. While I have not read any of the books from cover to cover, they are all serving me well as reference and training tools. The book was shipped in a timely manner and arrived in the condition described. Customer Rating: Summary: The Guide for the Guidelines Comment: This book clarified the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guidelines for me in crystal clear steps. The quizzes were especially helpful in solidifying my understanding in a seemingly overwhelmingly complicated subject matter. Customer Rating: Summary: Straight to the point! Comment: I really enjoyed this book because it was written in 'plain' language without any fluff. It was well written, the material was explained very well, and straight to the point. It doesn't promise that you will be a millionare in 45 days or anything else as crazy as that. I enjoyed it so much that I bought it for a friend as a gift! Customer Rating: Summary: Good but not what i thought Comment: This book is very good and very informative. For anyone in the mortgage business its a great text. However the title would seem to imply its more about marketing. Its really more about understanding the technical aspects of the mortgage business. They type of loans, how they work, how credit works etc. If you are looking for a great text to explain the details of the work then this is it. However dont let the title fool you. You will not find a book full of marketing strategy and techniques.
