Article Overview: Whether you are a first time home buyer, employed by a company or self employed, you need to understand the mortgage industry before you get a mortgage.

So, I recommend that you take a look at The New Rules for Mortgages by Dale Robyn Siegel. In this book she has several sections that are of particular interest to people who are self employed. She also shares a wealth of information that you should consider when getting any loan -- do yourself, your family and your business a favor and read this book for an industry insider - before you finalize your next loan.

The New Rules for Mortgages by Dale Robyn Siegel

When I think of some of the biggest decisions we can make in our lives - I think of things like getting married, having children, starting a business, and buying a home - to name a few. These are major things we do in our lives and these things affect our lives for many years to come -- so they are the kind of things that we should think about very carefully and thoroughly before we do them.

So why is it that so many people have no idea about the mortgage on their home? I could ask many questions about the other major decisions, but that would be different books. How many people do you know that have a 30 years (or longer) mortgage on their home, but they don't understand the terms or anything else about the loan? I admit that I'm incredibly careful about spending money and especially when it comes to a purchase of that magnitude -- so I can tell you that I discussed the details with my loan officer - I asked so many questions, that I didn't know if we would still be friends. But I understood what I was signing and I felt very good about the loan. Can you say the same about your mortgage?

If you have a mortgage and you don't understand it, if you are looking for a mortgage or if you just want to understand the current mortgage market - The New Rules for Mortgages is for you. Dale Robyn Siegel is an insider - she is in the mortgage business and she has been for years. She understand what is needed to secure a loan, she knows the things you need to know long before you walk in to fill out that application and she know the dos and don'ts of getting the best mortgage for YOU. And, she knows what will keep you from getting the home of your dreams. These are all reasons why you need to read The New Rules for Mortgages.

I am not a financial guru and I admit that many of the terms my mortgage officer used were foreign to me - but Siegel walks you through the entire process. These are some of the chapters in this book -- how many of these topics are things that you don't understand?

Let an industry insider give you the information you need to get the best possible mortgage for you.

If I deal with a company and its clear they don't care about my business and they don't support me, I look around for someone who does. Why support a business that won't support me? Chris
Re: Books/eBooks for Small Business Owners - Please suggest! - I have to agree with Evan in this as it was what I was going to recommend and then I saw his post, the 4 hour work week is so cool and well worth your time reading it for sure. Another great book is "how to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie a timeless classic. Also anything by Jeffrey Gitomer, he is a sales authority and really offers some tremendous value in his books, his little red book of selling is unbelievable, think I paid $20 for it, but it has earnt me much much more LOL!!
