It provides a smart, clear understanding of the topic, and is relevent and accessible to a broad range of people and experiences. The question/answer format is easy to flip through, and is quite thorough. There is some very practical and realistic information for low to moderate income homeowners that are at-risk for predatory lending and other threats that can lead to foreclosure.
