Life... One Step at a Time

According to a recent article in the Dallas Business Journal, six Dallas/Fort Worth area cities rated among The Top 10 Texas Cities for young families. They are -

#2 Allen
#3 Flower Mound
#6 Frisco
#7 McKinney
#9 Richardson
#10 Carrollton

The rankings were based on three questions:

• Does the city have a good public school system?

• Can you afford to live there?

• Is the city growing and prospering?

All of these DFW area cities were cited for having good schools and high median incomes.

What a magnificent and fascinating home!

I am always fascinated by celebrity homes, as I am sure many of us are. This home is a great example of modern elegance. A bargain at just $50,000,000 (insert snarky giggle here!), it is sure to have every feature you could possibly desire. At 23,000 square feet, there is plenty of room for the kids (and everyone else's!)!

FHA changes will take effect 04/01/2013!

For any clients putting down less than 10% the MI (mortgage insurance) factor will be 1.35% and will remain on the loan for the life of the loan.

For all case numbers ordered after June 3rd, 2013 the MI will stay on the loan for the life of the loan. A loan can close after June 3rd, 2013 and not have the MI remain on the loan for the life of the loan as long as the case number has been ordered before June 3rd.

RULE OF THUMB:

· You have until March 29th, 2013 to have your loan submitted, with a valid contract to underwriting, to avoid the increase in MI.

· You have until May 31st, 2013 to have your loan submitted, with a valid contract to underwriting, to avoid the increase in MI to remain for the life of the loan.
