Customer Reviews

Opens up your options!

I meet lots of first time home buyers who have bad or no credit. Often times they are frustrated and start to assume that most lender and brokers don't want to deal with them. What this book does is open up those options. I let one of my clients borrow this book. He came back to me and felt more confident with his decision to pursue to signing the papers.

Great information, easily explained, lots of ideas

Although this book has chapters devoted to people with no credit or bad credit, this new book tells how people can get a home loan - at competitive rates - that might not have any money for down payment or closing costs, regardless of credit history. I'm in the real estate business and thought I had heard it all but this book points out strategies that I didn't know existed. Perhaps the best sections are those which address people with damaged credit and how to not just shop around for the best loan but maybe more importantly how to protect themselves from "bad" loan officers who are only in the business to take advantage of someone and charge super high rates and fees. I bought several copies of this book to give to clients who think they can't buy a home. Then wait for their phone call!
