Praise for the previous edition of Mortgages 101:
“Covers just about every issue that can come up, from how much to put down to the various types of mortgages available. Perhaps the best thing Mr. Reed does is explain, simply, how banks determine your creditworthiness.” — The New York Times
“With consumer-friendly language and an easygoing tone, Reed answers over 250 common, yet critical borrower questions.” — Mortgage Originator
“The advice in Mortgages 101 is unvarnished and to the point. Reed takes a dry subject and makes literally years of hard-gained knowledge digestible and usable.” — Realty Times
“[Reed’s] lucid explanations translate confusing mortgage industry jargon into plain English for the nonfinancial reader. . . . no-nonsense tone.” — Financial Planning
David Reed has two decades of experience in the mortgage industry as a Senior Loan Officer and Underwriter. He is a regular contributor to Realty Times and the author of several popular books on real estate.
