Refinancing Houses. Your Castle, No Hassle: How to Buy a House, Find a Good Mortgage...and Keep Your Sense of Humor

Refinancing Houses. You've saved some money. You've found a great house. Now what? The hardest part of buying a house is getting the financing arranaged well.

I picked this book up at the bookstore, mostly because it looked a lot less intimidating than the other books on buying a home (where's the cover for this book, Amazon?). It was so smart, so insightful, and so darn funny that I've ordered several more for my friends who are looking to buy. The author is a long-time mortgage lender who has seen just about everything, and offers advice from the trenches. If you want to own, not rent, buy this amazing book.
