Robert Landreth, a mortgage banker with AHM Mortgage in Cumming, Georgia, has just released a new book about the mortgage industry, “Secrets of How to Own the Home of Your Dreams with Little or No Money Down, Regardless of Credit”.

Co-authored with 35-year mortgage professional Doug Huggins of Atlanta, the book explains the steps first-time home buyers need to know when purchasing a home.

“Most people think they need thousands of dollars for a down payment to buy a home,” Landreth said. “The book explains that is not necessarily true because there are many loan programs available to help new home owners, especially first time buyers, purchase a home with little or no money down.”

Landreth specializes in helping first-time homebuyers understand the mortgage process, find, qualify for and own the home of their dreams. He also assists high net worth clients manage the equity in their homes and investment properties.

Landreth entered the mortgage industry six years ago after spending more than 20 years in the telecommunications and pharmaceutical industries in various financial positions.

Actively involved with the Cumming/Forsyth Chamber of Commerce, Landreth also serves on the boards of ABBA House and Age Well Forsyth, and sits on the Strategic Planning Committee for Leadership Forsyth. Landreth and his wife Pam have two young children and live in Cumming, Georgia.

A graduate of North Georgia College and State University with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance, Landreth is a member of the Mortgage Bankers Association of Georgia.

AHM Mortgage is a mortgage real estate investment trust headquartered in Melville, New York. Stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol AHM. With 2006 revenue of $1.03 billion and origination volume of $58.9 billion, AHM is the 10th largest retail mortgage lender in the United States.

An informational talk on the book’s content and book signing is scheduled for Thursday August 2nd from 6:00 – 8:00pm at the Cumming/Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce’s Event Facility located at 212 Kelly Mill Road in Cumming, Georgia.

We have our own home!! Before we met Robert, we had tried unsuccessfully 3 times to obtain a mortgage. We were even told that it would take 5 years for us to be ready to make a home purchase. Our Real Estate Agent referred us to Robert. He advised us on how to dispute the inaccuracies on our credit report. We got a great mortgage with no money down. He was more than willing to go the extra mile for us.
