Your Guide to VA Loans: How to Cut Through The Red Tape and Get Your Dream Home Fast [Paperback]

Product Description
In 1944, Congress enacted the GI Bill to thank the men and women who served in the armed forces for their hard work and dedication. One of the most valuable benefits included in the bill was the VA Loan. But bureaucracy and stringent procedures have made applying and qualifying for these loans complicated and unwieldy. Your Guide to VA Loans is the first book to guide veterans through the process. Readers will discover how to determine whether VA loans are right for them, how to apply, and how to deal with common problems that arise. Mortgage expert and author David Reed has more than 30 years of experience helping buyers navigate complicated loan processes. Here he offers advice on topics such as:

* selecting the right VA lender

* finding an agent in a town where there are few veterans

* getting the best interest rate

* refinancing VA loans

* getting advice on VA loans while on active duty

Complete with a guide to regional resource centers, sample loan applications, payment tables and a glossary of terms, this seminal guide will help all veterans fully enjoy the benefits they need and so richly deserve.

The Loan Officer’s Practical Guide to Residential Finance – SAFE Act Version [Perfect Paperback]

Product Description
This is the 2009 Edition of the first book in the “Practical Guide” series for the mortgage industry. The October 2009 Version has been updated to meet the requirements of the SAFE Act.

It covers all of the vocational skills required of the loan originator, but also includes all Federal law, ethics, predatory lending and fraud components required by the Federal SAFE loan originator licensing Act of 2008.

Published since 1992, and updated annually, this 378 page textbook was written as an answer to the “sink-or-swim” training methods of many mortgage firms. The format is designed to give the newly initiated loan officer/agent, lender, processor, or other initiate the practical information they need to do the loan officer’s job.

The reader learns how to understand rate and point quotes, how to use a financial calculator, how to make basic computations customers require, how to understand loan programs and compare product features. The student progresses through understanding loan specifications – Conventional Conforming, Jumbo, FHA/VA and Sub-Prime program guidelines – to a practical understanding of ratios, income, assets and closing costs, debts and credit history. This is then placed in the context of the loan application – how to collect all the required documents and disclosures and supervise a loan from application to closing. Beyond the basics, students learn how to finance various property types; condos, PUDs, new construction and investment property. A detailed chapter on refinancing addresses the issues which most often confront the loan officer in a period of heavy refinancing – 10 reasons to refinance.

Finally, understanding how loans are made in the secondary market and the basics of interest rate quoting and behavior are covered.

This product is submitted for approval for use in continuing education in all states which have, or are adopting, a requirement. Many companies use this product as a handout to prospective new loan officers. Many loan officers give this product to their referral sources to help educate them to the requirements of the industry.

Untapped Riches: Never Pay Off Your Mortgage — and Other Surprising Secrets for Building Wealth [Paperback]

Product Description
Why do some folks get rich while others just get by? The biggest stumbling block for most people is believing they lack the capital required for serious wealth-building. Untapped Riches dispels this myth. This remarkable book reveals that most homeowners are in fact sitting on “untapped riches.” Working diligently to pay down mortgages, they are unwittingly tying up money in equity they could be investing elsewhere for greater return.

Offering 40 wealth-building and wealth-protection strategies, many of which fly in the face of conventional wisdom, Untapped Riches will change how readers think about borrowing money, investing, and mortgages. Challenging the idea that it is more financially sound to be debt-free, the authors believe that there is both good and bad debt — and that the former is essential to generating cash flow and building significant wealth. Real estate tycoons know it’s all about leverage. Now, the authors, who made their own fortune in real estate, show how anyone can get the cash they need, and really put it to work.
Book Description

“Like most people, you’ve probably dreamt about making smart investments that would eventually allow you to do things like take one extra vacation a year…or own a nicer home…or even just rest a little more comfortably knowing that there’s money in the bank. Maybe you even have a specific investment opportunity you’d like to take advantage of and know would pay off…but don’t have the cash at your disposal to even get started.

Now you can stop being frustrated, because if you own a home, you’re sitting on usable equity you didn’t even know you had! Untapped Riches is an eye-opening book that dispels longstanding myths and misconceptions about financial health, showing you that there is both good and bad debt, and that the key to building wealth is leveraging the capital you already have…money that would otherwise be tied up, giving you significantly less return than you could otherwise acquire by making smart investment decisions.

Untapped Riches shows you how to use new mortgage instruments and flexible loans, with sound information on “”smart loans,”" interest-only mortgages, 1031 exchanges, and negative amortization. The book proves that you don’t need a raise, a second job, or a get-rich-quick scheme to increase your net worth. You already have everything you need right now. This book provides you with 40 wealth-building and wealth-protection strategies you can use immediately to achieve your financial goals.

Flying in the face of conventional wisdom — and backing it up with proven techniques and hard-won wisdom — Untapped Riches will change the way you think about money, mortgages, and investing, and help you get the cash you need, and really put it to work.”
