New book on predatory lending out this week

[richlord at mcihispeed.ne]

American Nightmare: Predatory Lending and the Foreclosure of the American Dream takes the issue from Main Street to Wall Street, following the money trail from the unscrupulous contractors and brokers all the way to the institutional investors who fuel subprime lending's excesses. The book includes 33 case studies and an appendix including scores of questions that mortgage seekers should ask their contractor, broker and lender before signing anything. It's a good read and a valuable resource for advocates, lenders and borrowers. It's available at www.commoncouragepress.com.
