| "Most people spend more time researching the VCR or DVD player they plan to buy than they do making sure the mortgage they select is right for their specific financial needs. A DVD player costs $200 to $300, but most homeowners will pay $10,000 to $50,000 per year on their mortgage payments. Make sure you work with a mortgage planner who takes the time to structure your mortgage loan so that it works well with your overall financial strategy." -Barry Habib, Mortgage Market Analyst, CNBC |
