Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 26, 2023
This book has only basic information that one can find easily online. It brings little to no value. We would expect better from a book than just a collection of free material than can be found quickly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy read about the complexity of mortgages
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on December 27, 2019

Helped me understand the complexity of mortgages in a simple written way in which I can better understand. He wrote in a more unbiased point of view to help clients better understand and negotiate and also included the benefits between going to a broker, a credit union, and bank for your mortgage. Also gives tips on what to watch out for and what to look for before committing since this will be one of the biggest investments of your life. Thank you for being so honest. Needless to say I’d be going to a mortgage broker before just walking into a bank, whilst keeping the tips he had in mind of a good broker like himself. Integrity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Key Read on Canadian Mortgages

In the interest of full disclosure I am also in the mortgage industry and have known of (or watched) Paul for many years. I have a great deal of respect for him and you simply can't learn enough making only your own mistakes. It was great to get a chance to read insights from one of Canada's best mortgage experts.

Thanks Paul!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for the first-time Canadian home-buyer!

A very gentle introduction to the world of mortgages -- this is the kind of stuff you wish you'd learned in school! The good news is that it's not too late. Paul has done a terrific job laying out the various concepts that will help prospective home-buyers to master the basics of negotiating the best terms on their mortgage and avoid costly mistakes along the way!

Other great Canadian mortgage resources include the RedFlagDeals Official Mortgages Thread and ratespy.com

5.0 out of 5 stars As a first time home buyer this was very helpful
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 11, 2019

This book is simple and easy to read. I made notes along the way and wrote questions to ask my broker. Some things I just didn't know so I wouldn't have asked. After reading this book I become militant about getting a good rate so I didn't inadvertently pay more than I needed to for my property. The pre-payments section was valuable to me in helping me manage my mortgage payments and lessening my amortization period. Thanks Paul!

Awesome book! Concise and very easy to read. It answered most of my mortgage questions. I’m now more confident when negotiating with the bank.

The author also has a blog worth to follow.
