Now updated! The proven guide to negotiating the best mortgage terms--and surviving today's lending crisis
In today's hostile real estate market, homebuyers and owners are daunted by the prospect of securing a mortgage. In Mortgages For Dummies, Third Edition, bestselling personal finance authors Eric Tyson and Ray Brown give borrowers timely solutions, whether they need a loan to buy their first home, want to refinance their existing mortgage in the face of escalating payments, or tap into the equity they've built up. This revised edition features up-to-the-minute information on subprime and adjustable-rate mortgages, as well as updated worksheets and tools for calculating the costs and payments associated with a mortgage. Tyson and Brown decipher the jargon and point out all the fiscal pitfalls that borrowers need to know, showing them how to determine their borrowing power, select the right loan, find the best lender and options, and fill out all the paperwork correctly. This no-nonsense, comprehensive resource is a must for every homeowner or homeowner-to-be.

Summary: a reference guide for the rest of us
Comment: not a book you want to purchase if you want to learn the business but great if you are a home owner.
Customer Rating:
Summary: not worth the money
Comment: I learned nothing from this book that I didn't already know. After talking with friends and family and finding a good mortgage banker I trusted, I knew what I needed to. I was very disappointed in it!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good For Starters
Comment: The book touches on the very basics of buying a home. Lots of industry terms defined - this solves a communication barrier to often seen in this industry. Often times, some lenders forget to check the literacy of there clients and breeze through the whole process without defining some key terms. With this book, loan officers/brokers/agents and clients are on the same page.
First time buyers who read this book will feel a little more confident, especially with reading articles and books pertaining to buying/investing in a home.

Summary: Saved me a fortune!!!!!!
Comment: This book saved me about $22,000 when I purchased my house. It prepared me to know what to look for and what to ask for when searching for a mortgage! I had purchased the home buying for dummies book and while reading that I learned I needed to know so much more about the financing aspect. Since it was my first home purchase I was clueless. This book walked me through and helped me discover what my personal needs were. I found my dream house, a perfect fit mortgage, and closed all in 2 weeks. AMAZING!
