1) Paperback Book Mortgage Encyclopedia: An Authoritative Guide to Mortgage Programs, Practices, Prices and Pitfalls by McGraw-Hill. This was one of several books I ordered as learning and reference tools as I embark on my new career as a loan officer. While I have not read any of the books from cover to cover, they are all serving me well as reference and training tools. The book was shipped in a timely manner and arrived in the condition described.¤

2) Paperback Book Mortgage Encyclopedia: An Authoritative Guide to Mortgage Programs, Practices, Prices and Pitfalls by McGraw-Hill. Jack Guttentag´s Mortgage Encyclopedia includes more raw information helpful to understanding the language, terms, and structure of a commercial or home mortgage than any other book on the market.

The book is organized just the way it says - as an encyclopedia, in alphabetical order by topic. There is a useful index/table of contents up front which make it possible to quickly check to see if your topic of interest or one related to it is included in the book, and then each of those topics are given from a paragraph to a couple of pages of definition or explanation. For mathematical concepts all sorts of clearly explained charts are presented, and every topic is easy to understand for even a complete amateur.

If you are looking at generating or getting into a conventional or even somewhat nonconventional financing instrument, you will find what you are looking for in this book. If the book has a weakness or omission, it is that there is really no information on getting mortgages through private lenders, venture capitalists, or nonconventional sources (as happens to be my business).

Nonetheless, both mortgage professionals as well as anyone interested in fully understanding the terms of their own mortgages and lending instruments stands to learn a great deal by reading through this book, or simply using it as a reference tool for individual items and terms. Highly recommended.¤

A one-stop reference for in-depth explanations of mortgage topics

With the creation of so many new, complex mortgage programs, it´s difficult for consumers --not to mention real estate agents, attorneys, closing agents, and mortgage brokers--to keep track of them all. Written by nationally syndicated real estate columnist Jack Guttentag, The Mortgage Encyclopedia helps readers understand the various mortgage terms, features, and options by offering clear, precise explanations. The alphabetical organization of terms makes it easy to quickly find information on any topic, from FHA, Investor, and No-PMI Loans to Origination Fee and Rate Float. Each entry includes not just a description of the term, but also relevant advice for consumers, such as answers to the questions "Is this loan right for me?" and "Can I negotiate this fee?"

• Guides readers through the bewildering array of new mortgage programs
• Features definitions and explanations of common mortgage, escrow, and closing fees and arcane mortgage terminology
