By Ralph R. Roberts (Author), Chip Cummings (Author)
“Mortgage Myths” debunks the industry’s tall tales so you can discover the reality of real estate financing.
The mortgage game has changed dramatically, and you need to know the rules! Based on years of firsthand experience as borrowers, mortgage and real estate brokers, instructors, and industry insiders, Ralph R. Roberts, GRI, CRS and Chip Cummings team up to wipe out all the myths about mortgages and deliver the information you need to purchase and secure profitable long-term investments.
Here are some of the common myths that Roberts and Cummings dismantle:
- “You should always make the biggest down payment you can”
- “Your main goal should be to find the lowest interest rates”
- “Short-term investments are better than long-term investments”
- “Your credit score alone determines whether your loan gets approved”
- “It’s okay to save home improvements and repairs for later”
- “Your mortgage payment will never change”
- “Low inflation means lower appreciation”
