Praise for the previous edition of Mortgages 101

"With consumer-friendly language and an easygoing tone, Reed answers over 250 common, yet critical borrower questions." -- Mortgage Originator

"The advice in Mortgages 101 is unvarnished and to the point. Reed takes a dry subject and makes literally years of hard-gained knowledge digestible and usable." -- Realty Times
