I would recommend anyone thinking about buying or selling real estate and all real estate professionals make this book a part of their reference library right away.

I'm a programmer analyst for a mortgage company. However, the one year experience I had working for a mortgage company with all the ongoing trainings and mortgage software application designs are nothing compared to this book. This is a great book with all info you need to know about mortgages. Would recommend to anyone.

All I can say is this is a great book, that is equivalent to 3 years of mortgage experience.

My friend loaned me a copy of this book to read before applying for a loan. I had credit problems in the past and thought it was impossible to obtain a mortgage. After taking the steps the author suggested in checking my credit and removing the errors I found, I sailed through the mortgage process and am now a home owner. Thank you, Ms. Garton-Good, for helping me make this happen!

The process of buying a home is surely daunting and this book is very helpful on clarifying the scene before you get into the game without knowing what is going on around you. Although the market has changed a bit lately with interest-only loans and other new lending products, this book will provide you with the fundamentals of dealing with mortgage brokers and will help you decide for yourself, what is right fo you.

This is the 7th book on mortgages and home buying I've read in the last month or so and this is by far the best. Head and shoulders above the others
