As a real estate sales professional for almost twenty years, I know how important it is to work with a competent mortgage broker. Dan Kahn gives great insight into what it takes to become a success in the mortgage business - he lays it out from just getting started to getting ahead. This book is also a valuable reference tool for home buyers since it explains the mortgage process and its lingo. I found it an easy read and a book to keep for future reference.
Insightful Read

I am not much of a reader at all, but this book is clear and to the point. If you are new to the mortgage industry this book will give you a good base of knowledge to get you started. It will not teach you all of the ins and outs, but will introduce you to terms and ideas essential for understanding what the heck you are talking about to clients. Some of the contents are a little more than the beginner needs to know, but you can easily bypass those parts. Overall a good book!

I recently picked this book up to see if the mortgage industry was for me. After reading the book, I know that it's definitely for me. This book was extremely informative and I feel fairly prepared to get a job in the industry. I know that there is still much to learn about becoming a mortgage broker, but this book is definitely a start. I would highly recommend it for anyone who is thinking about entering into this industry.
Great Info!

Success in the increasingly complicated business of everyday life
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Like me, you may find this book extremely helpful even if you're not considering a career as a mortgage broker. Here's why. I have a mortgage, I just refinanced my mortgage, and I'm sure someday I'll buy a new house and need another mortgage. This book explains in clear and easy-to-understand language the "terms" your real estate agent, mortgage broker, or banker use when presenting financing options to you. Think Economics 101 crossed with a primer on banking and personal finance. Everything from "What's in a credit report" to "Who the heck is Freddie Mac" is discussed and explained. There are lots of extras in this book for the average reader. There's an "Interest and Style" personality test in Chapter 4 that I found spot on and fun to take. There's even a chapter on PDAs, cell phones, and a great explanation on just what a "Bluetooth" is and why I should look for that feature on my next laptop. And if I ever decide to start a small business, this book is packed with helpful hints and information about developing a business plan, time management, and marketing. Add this book to your library; it will assist you in being successful in the increasingly complicated business of everyday life.
