Customer Reviews

Another Great Book From Guttentag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have posted a review of this author's Mortgage Encyclopedia. Just as you should not be without that book, neither should you be without this one if you are getting into the mortgage business, are a mortgage veteran, or you are thinking about buying a home. This book is invaluable, and I say that as the owner of more than a hundred mortgage and homebuying books. It is pocket-sized, covers all the issues you could want to know about, and is written in an authoritative yet accessible style. Buy this book before all other homebuying books.
