"First time home buyers will take comfort in Chapter 7, which guides buyers through the loan process. There is a lot of paper work, and like a good college application, you need to have your paper work in order to make yourself as presentable an applicant as possible. Good preparation means money saved!" — Financial Samurai "I call her book "The New Rules of the Road for Mortgages" - or how the new procedural changes for getting mortgage money affect you (and how not to become "roadkill"). I highly recommend this book to anyone trying to secure a mortgage or refinance a loan right now. An attorney, licensed mortgage broker and teacher, Dale Robyn Siegel is the kind of powerful advocate you need to have on your side when dealing with lenders, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, title companies, and appraisers today (and beyond). As a credit counselor and author, I found the easy-to-read chapter on credit scores alone to be worth the price of the book." — Barbara Bryn Klare, Examiner.com San Francisco "Not only is this a priceless resource for a prospective home-buyer, but it is an excellent financial resource for everyone. It starts with the basics, clearly showing readers how to protect their credit scores, highlighting the importance of excellent money management skills. It might make a terrific gift for a high school or college graduate launching his career and his life as an independent adult." — The Stark Raving Bibliophile "Dale Robyn Siegel leaves no stones unturned in her assessment of income, and sources of down payments. The author also includes a concise discussion of how and why it’s critical to examine a house thoroughly for structural problems, and for ensuring a fair and honest home value appraisal. Essential reading for any would be borrowers is found in the important sections on deciding upon the right mortgage to suit the buyer’s circumstances." — Miranda Marquit, All Business Personal Finance Corner "She clearly has plenty of experience in the industry to be writing this type of book and the experience shows. She not only covers the big points, such as the entire mortgage process from an ultra high level, but she includes little notes along the way that shows she’s done the process over and over and over again (remember to change the locks on the doors and option ARMs are designed for people with irregular income, not for people with little income)." — Jim Wang, Bargaineering "This book has the details you need to make educated decisions when it comes to buying a home. Let an industry insider give you the information you need to get the best possible mortgage for you." — Evan Carmichael |
