Very disappointing. Contrary to the title, I did not find any useful information on how to save money on a mortgage. The author spends very little time on junk fees which can add hundreds or even thousands of $$$ in unnecessary fees to unwary buyers.

The book also makes little use of the internet resources that are now available to compare rates.

I would also expect a general opinion as to certain large lenders.

There is little useful information here. Save your money and buy a copy of your credit report instead.

I found this book (the first edition) to be informative when I bought my first house.

I have done a lot of research and actually took the training to become a real estate agent, so I had a lot of basic information to start with. But the book explained a number of things that I have not been privy to.

This is a valuable book, with a lot of insight that you will not find elsewhere. The author’s realistic perspective on mortgage lenders will help you understand what you are dealing with. That knowledge is worth thousands of dollars, just as the title indicates. At our homefair.com web site, we receive many books to review. This is one of the few to which we have given an endorsement.
