Smart Guide to Buying a Home (The Smart Guides Series)

Buying a home is not like buying groceries--it's a complicated exercise that most of us will do only few times in our lives. And given that a home is most often the biggest financial transaction we'll ever make, it makes sense to get help, but not necessarily from your friendly real estate agent. That's just one of the many tips that Alfred and Emily Glossbrenner offer in the Smart Guide to Buying a Home. The authors provide a solid foundation for prospective home buyers, and consider everything associated with buying and owning a home, such as finding a mortgage, negotiating, inspections, using a real estate agent, taxes, and the costs and the risks of home ownership. The book also considers how to evaluate property and assess just how much house you and your pocketbook can really afford. An excellent primer for first-time homebuyers. --Harry C. Edwards

The book provides a theoretical and empirical evaluation of different housing finance systems, presenting a collection of studies that describe various aspects of selected mortgage markets around the world.

Economics of the Mortgage Market: Perspectives on Household Decision Mak

The analysis of the mortgage market is a specialised field but examines a financial market with extremely wide-ranging implications; it affects the stability of the whole economy. The key thing about this analysis is the increasing importance of the secondary mortgage market – which in the US is now several times larger than the market for government debt. The UK secondary mortgage market is also growing and the book will provide a timely resource to those active and interested in this important financial market.The 1990s saw an enormous growth of mortgage market analysis as an academic subject and there is a vast literature scattered among the key real estate journals. There is now a great need to not only bring this very complex subject area together, but also to abstract the main issues and to render them intelligible. The book will provide an organised research resource and also inform and motivate further research into the microeconomics of mortgage markets.

Fraud and the Subprime Mortgage Crisis (Criminal Justice: Recent Scholar

Nguyen examines mortgage fraud as an inherent part of the subprime mortgage crisis. He traces the exponential growth of mortgage fraud to the loose underwriting standards, alternative loan products, and inadequate regulation and regulatory oversight of the subprime mortgage industry. He describes the various financial crimes constituting mortgage origination fraud, a form of fraud involving fraud for profit, fraud for property, and predatory lending. The accounts of mortgage frauds by industry insiders presented in this book provide a chilling view of the criminal implications of an unregulated financial industry. Nguyen proposes several broad recommendations highlighting the need to recognize the potential for insider fraud, enhance government regulation and oversight, tighten loan qualification requirements, and increase standards of underwriting.
