lake havasu real estate: Calculating Your Debt-to-Income Ratio
- 09/19/12 03:09 AM
Lenders look at more than your credit score and downpayment when deciding whether to approve you for your Lake Havasu City home. They also need to calculate your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio. While some lenders have allowed a DTI as high as 52%, the general rule of thumb is to keep the DTI at 45% or less. Anything higher than 45% leaves you in danger of losing the deal.

- 01/07/11 04:26 AM
The American Community Survey has recently released their analysis of the first detailed portrait of the heartland in America. In the last decade, rural counties lost more residents than the previous decade.

- 03/22/10 02:54 PM
Greetings from sunny Lake Havasu City ! I’m sure you’ve heard or read about what we like to call our ‘Havasu lifestyle” and how things are just a bit different here.
If you haven’t’ made a decision to live here yet, let me tell you briefly about this bright and busy Saturday.
By 7 a.m., with the sun already warming things up, there were walkers, runners, bikers, roller bladders and gawkers on the paved hike trial on the island.
There were also marathoners from throughout the West warming up for their run, while the folks who enjoy RC airplanes were buzzing … (1 comments)
