So you Want to Be a Mortgage Broker [Posted on 2007-01-17]
Great book that provided a lot of insight into the mortgage brokering.

Not worth the money or time... [Posted on 2007-01-23]
This book is definitely not worth the money or time.

The primary reason why you should NOT buy this book is that you can get the information that is found in this book (and MUCH more) by inquiring on any major search engine. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that there are only a FEW professions which have only ups and no downs. Being a loan officer or mortgage broker is not one of them. Almost all other information contained in this book is freely distributed on the net and I see no reason to spend my money to read something that I could read for free.

The second reason you should not buy this book, is the amount of unprofessionalism with which the book was written, that was unnecessary on Ameen's part and COULD be avoided if he chose to. But he chose not to. I've read quite a few books on many topics, including the mortgage industry, and I've never come across an author who had come even close to surpassing Ameen's ability to fill their book with as much promotion of their other products, as possible, to the point where the book could be considered to be only half book and half advertisement.

If that's what you're looking for, then buy this book.

Going to enter the mortgage business [Posted on 2007-01-24]
I loved this book.
For someone who knows very little about the industry and wants to get into it, this book is a great place to start.

The last review said that this information can be found on the internet. Maybe it is, BUT I doubt it. Anyway, I am not willing to waste countless hours and search through hundreds of websites to try to find it. Especially when the book is so cheap.

I really liked the section on what a typical day is like for a loan officer. But the best part, and something no one I talked to in the mortgage business was willing to talk about, was the section of how loan officers get paid. The author explains the frontend and the backend and how a loan officer can manipulate the numbers to make the client think they are getting a deal, but the loan officer is still making his money too.

If you are thinking about getting into the mortgage business, like I am, this book is a great place to start. Once you understand all the concepts in it, you will know what to talk about to propestive employers, and what questions to ask. Otherwise you are just going in blind.

Just the tips on getting a higher commission will pay for the book several times over.

Good Luck, God Bless.

Very Disappointed [Posted on 2007-03-15]
This book was extremely BASIC. Hardly any useful information at all. If you have ever taken out a mortgage, you already know most of this. It was almost a total waste of money. The main focus of this book is to sell you a much more expensive program(s).

Save yourself time and money - run a Google search to get info on the subject. This book is worthless, the author mainly advertises their websites.
