very useful
Michelle Singletary recommended this book in the Washington Post. It's clearly written, full of very useful information, and fun to read. I only wish I'd had it before I signed the loan contract. But, no worries, an email to the author, a quick reply, and I received more valuable advice. Don't get a home loan without reading this book first.

Wiley Publishing, Inc., 2007

An Well Written and Throrough Book
Real Estate Investing for Dummies is yet another excellent real estate book in the Dummies series. I have "Home Buying for Dummies" and "Property Management for Dummies." Both are highly valued, and frequently utilized, volumes in my investing library. I have long thought that "Real Estate Investing" by McLean and Eldred was perhaps the top book for beginning real estate investors. But ...

Thorough Analysis of the Subprime Shock
Mark Zandi's "Financial Shock" is simply written and anyone with a rudimentary grasp of Economics 101 will have no trouble understanding the concepts presented in it. Zandi takes care to explain financial terms and concepts that might present difficulty to the layman.

Mortgage-Free delivers bigtime!
I was very skeptical when I ordered the book because I saw it advertised on a TV infomercial. But once I got into the concept and understood what the author was talking about, I realized the system worked extremely well. It's interesting how lenders in the UK and Australia offer this kind of early mortgage payoff plan to their citizens, but in the USA I dare say the entire concept will some ...

The Subprime Solution: How Today's Global Financial Crisis Happened, and What to Do about It

17 reviews
Robert J. Shiller

Princeton University Press, 2008

Financial Democracy
For Prof. R.J. Shiller, the root of the subprime mortgage crisis in the US is a myth, the belief that real estate prices must strongly trend upward for demographic reasons. He proves that the price of real estate, to the contrary, is trending lower. What went up are the quality and the dimension of the average individual houses. But what about `land'? Didn't Mark Twain recommend strongly: `Go ...

Greenspan's Bubbles: The Age of Ignorance at the Federal Reserve

38 reviews
William Fleckenstein, Fred Sheehan

McGraw-Hill, 2008

Brilliant study of a failed system
In this fascinating book, financial journalist William Fleckenstein studies the record of Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006. Between 1937 and 1987 there were no bubbles, but Greenspan helped to create two bubbles in ten years - in stocks and then in real estate - by holding interest rates too low, punishing savers. He helped to make the American people worse off ...

Invest in this book today
This book is straightforward and gives you a tremendous amount of information about investing in private mortgages. Unlike a lot of books of the investment genre, it does not try to sell you on services provided by the authors. In fact, I wish the book had a bit more reference material for making contacts to get started with this type of investing.

excellent advice for all homebuyers
Though this book's title specifies that it's for the first time buyer, my advice would be to pick it up and read it thoroughly regardless of how many times you've bought or built. It is a super compendium of all the steps a buyer needs to take, including information on motivation and emotions in home buying, taxes, paperwork, hiring a professional advocate such as a lawyer or real estate agent, ...

Stop Foreclosure Now: The Complete Guide to Saving Your Home and Your Credit

3 reviews
Lloyd Segal

AMACOM, 2008

A pure gem of wisdom, knowledge and power
As a principle, I stay far away from self help and you-can-do-it-yourself books, because more often than not, their authors seem to have the secret ambition of turning clueless reader/user into experts on their subject matters. Mr. Segal's book does not supply the reader with needless information on foreclosure, short sales and related matters: it simply provides very straightforward answers to ...
