Owning a home is definitely better than giving your money to a landlord every month, but there are some things you need to make sure you save for when making a purchase. 1. Earnest Money.

indianapolis real estate: The Food in Indianapolis is HOT HOT HOT!!! - 06/10/09 10:07 AM
Apparently the Travel channel and Alison Stein Wellner (an apparent well known food critic) were on a quest to find the spiciest food in the world...that's right, the world! She traveled to Germany, India, Honduras, Nashville, and finally Indianapolis Indiana. She was there for the Indy 500 and they decided to go to Harry and Izzy's , which is the sister (more casual) restaurant to St. Elmo Steak House. Here you can order St. Elmo's famous shrimp cocktail... Well apparently, Alison hadn't heard of St. Elmo's or their shrimp cocktail and didn't think a thing about it when she ordered it.

indianapolis real estate: Pre-Qualification vs. Pre-Approval Which is Better? - 04/28/09 10:43 AM
Some of you looking to purchase a home may be wondering how a a pre-qualification differs from a pre-approval. A Pre-Qualification letter essentially means you spoke to a lender about your desire to purchase a home...You let them know what your income is and your monthly obligations are (car payment, personal loan, child support, etc.). They may or may not run a credit report. Obtaining a pre-qualification letter is basically a quick conversation on the phone to see what you "may" (keyword is "MAY") be able to qualify for. It's simply an estimate. A Pre-Approval letter requires a bit more work.
