Janusz's Essential Resource for Mortgage Buyers

Ted Janusz has written a great resource for those who rent or buy. It helped me understand the difference between Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, why there's a separate closing agent at a sale, how to use the good faith estimate to compare to actual mortgage costs, and how to reduce costs with mortgages. I wish I had owned this book when I bought my home. I am buying multiple copies to give to friends and family.

An eye-opening look at why closing costs are so high

In the mortgage application process, we're disoriented by mountains of paper we're compelled to read and sign. Somewhere in the back of our minds, we probably know that most of it is meant to protect someone else--not us. Ted Janusz's book "Kickback" makes it easy to understand traps in the mortgage and home buying process, and shows us how industry insiders use hard-to-penetrate terminology to disguise extra compensation paid for by the borrower. Don't wait until you're asked to sign mortgage papers. This is an easy and quick read that you must put on your list as soon as you start house hunting. Knowledge is power--be informed!
