The entire world of mortgages and credit has turned upside down. Everything people think they know has changed and relying on a book published before 2009 could be a very expensive mistake. In Homebuyers Beware, Carolyn Warren reveals the new realities and shows how to take advantage of them, whether you’re buying your first home, refinancing, struggling with imperfect credit, or planning to invest in real estate.

Warren reveals secrets home buyers can’t afford to miss, and exposes the newest scammers taking advantage of today’s desperate consumers. Unlike older guides, this book fully reflects today’s radically new and different mortgage requirements, as well as the latest federal legislation, including the Housing Bill of October 2008 and the brand-new FACT credit reporting rules.
