As part of Yahoo!’s continued improvement of their standard setting Finance portal; they have added a massive amount of personal finance content in the past year. On top of having columns from columnists such as Ben Stein, Dr. Jeremy Siegel, and Ram Charan, they have several other regular features that need to be checked out.

One of those features is their how-to guides. These guides are not all encompassing, but they are very well written summaries of heavy personal finance topics. They include tips for buying a car, an excellent overview of mortgages, and financing options for small businesses.

The mortgage basics how-to not only goes through the basics of different types of mortgages, but tells you what lenders (should) look at when determining if you qualify for a mortgage, when you should pay points, and when an Adjustable Rate Mortgage may be right for you. 

If Yahoo!’s personal finance section isn’t a daily stop in your websurfing life it probably should be. And if you are looking for basic information on any personal financial topic,  Yahoo!’s how-tos should be your first stop.
