I have done a lot of research and actually took the training to become a real estate agent, so I had a lot of basic information to start with. But the book explained a number of things that I have not been privy to.

I live in southern California and with today's housing prices in this area I still rent right now However, at some point in the near future, I will buy, no matter whether it's a place in SoCal or an investment property somewhere else in the country. When that happens I know that I will be very happy that I found Randy's Johnson's book before I started down the road of acquiring a mortgage.
The only reason that I gave 4 stars instead of a full 5 is that I felt that the book was just a little long winded and could have been condensed just a bit. The information contained within the book can help anyone from the first-time home buyer to someone who is looking to refi to get a great deal. Randy covers the details of rates, fixed vs. variable (ARMs), points, closing costs, and gives tips regarding each to try and land the best mortgage depending on a person's needs. In addition, Randy doesn't just discuss financial topics but also discusses the mortgage industry as a whole and the importance of finding a lender/broker that you can trust.
If you ever plan on owning a home or if you already own and want to trim the fat from your mortgage, read this book. If you are unfamiliar with mortgages, read something like "Mortgages for Dummies" or some other introductory book first and then read this book since Randy assumes, at times, a base knowledge of mortgages.

An excellent and detailed book about all the options, choices and benefits of various mortgage products and strategies. A book that can literally save you thousands upon thousands of dollars - not merely by comparison shopping but by making sure you actually go shop for the right product. Absolutely required reading before a home purchase or refinance.
