This book will also prepare you with the essentials for a loan approval and tips on how to improve your credit.

I'll show you how to save money by obtaining a seller credit towards closing costs, reduce your interest rate and its cost, and obtain federal and state tax credits. In addition, you will learn ways to buy foreclosures with low down payment. As a mortgage consultant, I strongly believe in full disclosure to my clients; I'll describe important key documents that need to be reviewed before looking for a house and at the closing of your transaction.
