Okay y’all don’t hate!!! I’ve never read a “For Dummies” book before. I always assumed the series would be overly simplistic and quite literally written for morons. Honestly, this book was extremely helpful, informative, detailed, and thoughtfully laid out. I think a book like this is preferable to reading similar info online on sites like nerdwallet.com or bankrate.com because you won’t encounter any sponsored or biased content. Highly recommend.

Really clear and helpful.

Good book for anyone planning to take their first mortgage or any kind of bank loan. It helps you understand how mortgages work and what strategies you can use to pay them off in a way that suits you best. Even though this book is written for the US market, most of the topics should be applicable in other countries as well. However, if you’re not in the US, it’s a good idea to do some research beforehand. That way, you can easily skip the chapters that don’t apply to your situation.

Well, ok, free with a premium audible package; skimmed through this and picked out the relevant passages, and the info is sound, albeit geared towards the US real estate market.

Very helpful in making sense of what can feel like very overwhelming and complicated decisions.

A very thorough book about mortgages including refinancing. Things you think you know and understand but might not know as well as you think. We decided to listen to this book after having a dickens of a time comparing loans offered by different companies that seem to strive to confuse and obfuscate.
