Great resource
I found (most of) this book to be extremely helpful as I entered the realm of buying real estate. Some of the tips are geared towards investment properties, but I found it to be a great source of information for anyone interested in purchasing property. This may not be ideal for someone with extensive knowledge, but it was great for my purpose, which was learning a little more about how things work and tricks to keep from losing your shirt in a real estate deal.
I liked it
I read this book in its entirety. I liked it very much. It gives concise, direct, and objective advice to the novice. I do not see how someone may give this book 1 star. At least this book is useful.
The author writes like a used car salesman
The author writes like a hustler who is trying to con you into believing he is something he isn't. From the quality of the information in this book, the author certainly seems to understand mortgage. Yet, the street-wise tone of the author actually curbs his own credibility. He uses phrases such as "Avoid the bang of a bursting balloon","How to borrow jumbo amounts without paying jumbo rates", and "[author] simplifies complicated math...[and] make sure your loan rep is being honest with you". Such lingo belongs in an infomercial. Beyond his own hoopla, the book does contain valuable information. Just don't buy into his own hype.
