Product Description
The mortgage meltdown: what went wrong and how do we fix it?
Owning a home can bestow a sense of security and independence. But today, in a cruel twist, many Americans now regard their homes as a source of worry and dashed expectations. How did everything go haywire? And what can we do about it now?
In The Rise and Fall of the U.S. Mortgage and Credit Markets, renowned finance expert James Barth offers a comprehensive examination of the mortgage meltdown. Together with a team of economists at the Milken Institute, he explores the shock waves that have rippled through the entire financial sector and the real economy. Deploying an incredibly detailed and extensive set of data, the book offers in-depth analysis of the mortgage meltdown and the resulting worldwide financial crisis. This authoritative volume explores what went wrong in every critical area, including securitization, loan origination practices, regulation and supervision, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, leverage and accounting practices, and of course, the rating agencies. The authors explain the steps the government has taken to address the crisis thus far, arguing that we have yet to address the larger issues.
- Offers a comprehensive examination of the mortgage market meltdown and its reverberations throughout the financial sector and the real economy
- Explores several important issues that policymakers must address in any future reshaping of financial market regulations
- Addresses how we can begin to move forward and prevent similar crises from shaking the foundations of our financial system
The Rise and Fall of the U.S. Mortgage and Credit Markets analyzes the factors that should drive reform and explores the issues that policymakers must confront in any future reshaping of financial market regulations.

Product Description
If you’re interested in real estate investing, you may have noticed notice the lack of coverage it gets in mainstream financial media, while stocks, bonds, and mutual funds are consistently touted as the safest and most profitable ways to invest. According to real estate guru Ken McElroy, that’s because financial publications, tv and radio programs make the bulk of their money from advertising paid for by the very companies who provide such mainstream financial services. On the other hand, real estate investment is something you can do on your own–without a large amount of money up front! Picking up where left off in the bestselling The ABC’s of Real Estate Investing, McElroy reveals the next essential lessons and information that no serious investor can afford to miss. Building on the foundation of real estate investment 101, McElroy tells readers:
- How to think–and operate–like a real estate mogul
- “The Top Ten Real Estate Markets to Watch”
- How to identify and close expert deals
- Why multifamily housing is the best real estate investment out there
- How to surround yourself with a team that will help maximize your money
- How to avoid paying thousands in taxes by structuring property sales wisely
- Important projections about the future of real estate investment
- And more.
