Negative Positive
Title: Poor reference. Author uses book as a promotion for others
Review: This book does a good job explaining the relationship between broker and client, property characteristics and some other subjects. However, the book does a poor job explaining the ins and outs of financing from the different programs to how exactly points with a mortgage broker work. I just recently purchased a house and this was to be my sole reference, however, I had to seek out answers on the Internet for most of my financing questions. Several times during this book the author explains that in order to have a more in depth explanation about a particular subject, you need to purchase his book on "negotiating", or "financing" . The book also was inaccurate and spoke negatively about government financing programs such as FHA/HUD loans and VA loans. I used VA financing for my purchase and the explanation and details in the book were inadequate. If you purchase this book, do not expect it to answer the majority of your questions.
