HOW MUCH HOUSE CAN YOU AFFORD?
MORTGAGE RATES
Determining how much “home you can afford” depends on several important factors including: •
You can get a very rough estimate of your affordable home price range by multiplying your annual gross income by 2.5. For example, if your annual gross income is $50,000, you may be able to afford a home worth $125,000 (this varies depending on current interest rates, your debt and credit history.)
•
Your credit can affect your ability to qualify for a mortgage and your mortgage rate. Before you shop for a house or a mortgage, find out what your credit score is by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com or calling (877) 322-8228. Be sure to do this once a year because your score can be negatively affected if pulled too often.
•
Mortgage rates change constantly based on the economic factors that affect the demand for mortgages among investors like Freddie Mac. You can track mortgage rate trends by following Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey. You will have to make a downpayment of at least 5 percent of the home purchase price to qualify for a mortgage that meets Freddie Mac’s requirements. If you are able to put down 20 percent or more, you can avoid having to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI), reducing your monthly mortgage payment.
•
If you are looking to buy a condominium, keep in mind that rates are typically higher for these loans and you’ll have to budget for the cost of your monthly condominium fee.
•
•
You should consider your current living standards, as well as any future major expenses such as a wedding or college tuition. And, remember - buy what you can comfortably afford today, not five years from now.
•
Remember to factor in the expenses and fees you will incur for a home appraisal, a home inspection and other professional services required to buy a home.
To determine how much you can afford, it is helpful to follow the guidance and key ratios lenders use : Lenders recommend that your mortgage payment (principal, interest, taxes and mortgage insurance) be less than 28 percent of your monthly gross income.
•
Lenders look to see that all your other debts (credit cards, student loans, alimony, child support, car loans and housing expenses) are less than 30-40 percent of your monthly gross income.

Biting back against mosquitos: Eliminate breeding and feeding opportunities (BPT) - Warm weather heralds the arrival of cookouts, lounging poolside, weekends at the beach and a host of fun outdoor activities. Spring and summer are also mosquito season, and the little blood-suckers are far more than just an itchy nuisance. Mosquitos carry and transmit diseases that kill more than a million people worldwide every year, according to the American Mosquito Control Association. In America, mosquitos have been linked to the transmission of West Nile Virus in humans and heartworms in dogs, the AMCA reports. In 2014, 47 states and the District of Columbia had reported cases of West Nile infections in people, birds and mosquitos, according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. Sixty percent of the 2,122 people infected in 2014 had infections that affect the brain, such as meningitis or encephalitis. Fortunately, you can take effective steps to protect your home, family and pets from exposure to mosquitoes. Eliminating standing water where mosquitos breed and thwarting their efforts to feed can help keep your environment mosquito-free this spring and summer. Eliminating breeding opportunities "Many homeowners may not realize that standing water and puddles in their yards can play a large role in attracting mosquitos," says Ryan Larsen, a civil engineer with NDS Inc., the nation's leading manufacturer of landscape drainage solutions. "Standing water is an ideal breeding location for
mosquitos, which lay their eggs in still water." Larsen advises homeowners to start their mosquito-prevention efforts by inspecting their yards to identify places where water may collect, such as low spots, downspouts, retaining walls, edging, walkways and patios. Check gutters and downspouts to be sure they're free of obstructions, and address drainage issues in the landscaping. "Low areas can easily turn into 'water reservoirs' that cause serious drainage problems," Larsen says. "Muddy, wet areas not only look bad, they kill grass, attract mosquitos and can evolve into more serious property damage." Depending on your landscape and the severity of drainage problems, you may need to install a drainage system to prevent standing water from collecting on your property. Do-it-yourselfers can solve minor problems, but more severe situations may require professional intervention. In most cases, a drainage system can be installed in a single weekend, Larsen says. NDS offers free resources, easy-to-follow instructional videos, product recommendations, installation instructions and helpful links on its website, http://www.ndspro.com/home-drainagesystems/. You can also email questions to drdrainage@ndspro.com. Thwarting feeding Eliminating standing water on your property can help reduce mosquitos breeding in your yard, and other steps can help further protect you from
marauding mosquitos. Some mosquitos will travel 40 miles for a meal, the AMCA says. When you're outdoors, take steps to protect yourself, your family and pets from mosquitos hunting for blood. Wear insect repellant on exposed skin and apply it to clothing as well, the CDC advises. Look for repellants with an active ingredient that's recommended by the CDC and EPA, like DEET, picaridin, IR3535 or oil of lemon eucalyptus. Dress in lighter-colored clothes as mosquitos are attracted to darker colors. If it's not too hot, wear long sleeves and pants to reduce skin exposure, especially between dusk and dawn when the mosquitos known to spread West Nile are most active. When you're in your backyard, try burning citronella candles on patio tables, tossing some sprigs or rosemary on the grill or running a fan at ground level to help keep mosquitos away.
Your how-to guide to outdoor entertaining
5 essential steps for finding the perfect lawn mower (BPT) - Nothing says springtime like the sounds of lawn mowing and the sweet smell of freshly cut grass. For some, mowing the lawn is a chore. Others enjoy the sense of accomplishment and pride in a great looking lawn. Regardless of where you fall, you'll likely find yourself mowing about 30-40 times a year, so finding the right lawn mower is important. You'll want to make sure your lawn mower combines strength to handle different terrain and the comfort in using it often - even for jobs that don't involve cutting the grass. If you are in the market for a new lawn mower, keep these guidelines in mind to help you find your perfect lawn mower: * Evaluate your needs. Consider the size of your lawn, the type of grass, landscaping features and obstacles to mowing. For small lawns, a walk-behind mower will probably be sufficient. If your property is larger, a riding lawn mower like Cub Cadet XT Enduro Series can help make the job easier. The terrain you'll need to cover should also be a key consideration in the type of mower you choose. Zero-turn mowers - riding mowers that have a zerodegree turning radius - are becoming more popular options for homeowners with many obstacles like hills or trees in their lawn or for those who have more ground to cover and want to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Responsive handling and good cornering can be helpful when you're mowing around flowerbeds, trees and other features in the yard and can give you stability on the slopes. * Consider how you will use the lawn mower. Will you use it for other purposes besides mowing in different seasons? For example, will your lawn mower need to mulch in the fall, aid in snow removal during the winter and tow away debris in the spring? You'll want a lawn mower that offers different attachments for uses throughout the year and, if you
are financing your purchase, look for models which allow you to bundle attachments into your purchase for a better deal. * Test drive your lawn mower, especially if it's a riding mower. It's important for your lawn mower to offer comfort and responsive handling. Remember, you'll likely use it at least once a week during warm weather months, so a comfortable ride is key. Cub Cadet is currently holding special test drive events, offering consumers the opportunity to experience their line of lawn tractors, zero turns and even walkbehind mowers before they buy. Also, stop by a local dealer in your area to test drive any time. * Pay attention to the extras. High-tech features and options inspired by the automotive world are becoming more and more common in riding mowers. Which will maximize your mowing power and enjoyment? Is protecting your investment paramount? Educate yourself on which features and options have the most long-term value. For example, extra protection against rust and corrosion and a smartphone app that allows you to stay on top of your mower's maintenance needs can lead to longer life and better performance in the long-term. * Finally, look for the best warranty you can buy. A lawn mower is not a minor investment, so knowing what's protected under the manufacturer's warranty is essential. For example, the XT Enduro Series warranty covers unlimited hours on the powertrain for up to three years, up to five years on the chassis and front axle, and offers limited lifetime coverage on the fabricated deck shell. Your lawn mower will work hard this year. By choosing the right mower for your needs, you can ensure that your investment will offer the comfort and features to deliver an enjoyable mowing experience and will have the strength and durability to keep it doing its job for many seasons to come.
(BPT) - The end of cold weather signals the change of seasons, a move from indoor to outdoor activities and the perfect time to throw a great party. But before eagerly sending out those first invites, take a few moments to prepare for your upcoming event by following these three easy steps to hosting a fantastic summer soiree: 1. Pick a great location Location, location, location. Just as when you are buying or selling a home, location plays the most important part of throwing a great outdoor party. Think of your outdoor space as an extension of your home. Investing in a beautiful and functional deck provides a location sure to please for many upcoming years and parties. Commercial products offer party planners many amazing options including low-maintenance plastic composite boards that mimic expensive hardwoods, like the Envision series by TAMKO Building Products, Inc. "Envision's dramatic color variation and random wood-grain patterns across the entire deck is truly unique to the industry," said Bill Koll, TAMKO director of decking and railing. 2. Enjoy the weather This may seem obvious but no one's going to feel like joining the Conga line at your outdoor party if its 40 degrees and raining. So do your research beforehand. Mother Nature can be fickle and there's always a chance for inclement weather as long as the event is outside but you can greatly reduce your chances of having to cancel or relocate by simply looking at an extended forecast. 3. Add some color Nothing says summertime like bright color. Think oranges, yellows and reds to give an added feeling of warmth. This can be done in the form of a brightlycolored shade umbrella, some well-placed patio cushions, festive patio lights or even last-minute painted flower pots spread liberally over the deck. You can also impress your guests by incorporating Pantone's color of the year, Marsala, into your deck party decor for a fresh, trendy ambiance.
