‘It Will Get You Thinking’
I wish I’d found this when I was younger and buying our first home (especially chapter on Commercial and residential mortgage) but I still found it educational now. I really liked how it was written…simple and easy to understand. It covered a wide range of information on mortgage options, FHA mortgage, credit reports and fico scores, warning signs of credit trouble, refinancing, foreclosures, paying off a mortgage, escrow, points, and settlement costs etc.
‘Awesome Strategies’
Herold has the kind of conversation about the ins and outs of business loans that you’re never going to hear from the representative of a lender or with someone at the local small business center. I feel much more equipped to have a better chance of finding the right lender, to save time and avoid hassles.
