real estate: What Is The Debt To Income Ratio When Buying A Home?
- 12/11/14 02:16 AM

Most lenders want to see a DTI of no more than 40% especially since recent changes in the mortgage industry thanks to … (0 comments)

Homebuyers are looking for safe tree-lined neighborhoods, good school districts, ample amounts of bedrooms and bathrooms, and beautiful open floor plans.
Real estate investors never buy real estate investment properties based upon these things other than how they might influence rents and … (0 comments)
