How to save enough for a down payment BY METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION
A
home is the most costly thing many people will ever buy. The process of buying a home can be both exciting and ner ve-wracking. One way to make the process of buying a home go more smoothly is to save enough money to put down a substantial down payment. Saving for a down payment on a home is similar to saving for other items, only on a far grander scale. Many financial planners and real estate professionals recommend prospective home buyers put down no less than 20 percent of the total cost of the home they’re buying. Down payments short of 20 percent will require private mortgage insurance, or PMI. The cost of PMI depends on a host of variables, but is generally between 0.3 and 1.5 percent of the original loan amount. While plenty of homeowners pay PMI, buyers who can afford to put down 20 percent can save themselves a considerable amount of money by doing so. Down payments on a home tend to be substantial, but the following are a few strategies prospective home buyers can employ to grow their savings with an eye toward making a down payment on their next home. • Decide when you want to buy. The first step to buying a home begins when buyers save their first dollar for a down payment. Deciding when to buy can help buyers develop a saving strategy. If buyers decide they want to buy in five years away, they will have more time to build their savings. If buyers want to buy within a year, they will need to save more each month, and those whose existing savings fall far short of the 20 percent threshold may have to accept paying PMI. • Prequalify for a mortgage. Before buyers even look for their new homes, they should
first sit down with a mortgage lender to determine how much a mortgage they will qualify for. Prequalifying for a mortgage can make the home buying process a lot easier, and it also can give first-time buyers an idea of how much they can spend. Once lenders prequalify prospective buyers, the buyers can then do the simple math to determine how much they will need to put down. For example, preapproval for a $300,000 loan means buyers will have to put down $60,000 to meet the 20 percent down payment threshold. In that example, buyers can put down less than $60,000, but they will then have to pay PMI. It’s important for buyers to understand that a down payment is not the only costs they will have to come up with when buying a home. Closing costs and other fees will also need to be paid by the buyers. • Examine monthly expenses. Once buyers learn how much mortgage they will qualify for, they will then see how close they are to buying a home. But prospective buyers of all means can save more each month by examining their monthly expenses and looking for ways to save. Buyers can begin by looking over their recent spending habits and then seeing where they can spend less. Cutting back on luxuries and other unnecessary spending can help buyers get closer to buying their next home. • Avoid risky investments. Some times it’s great to take risks when investing, but risk should be avoided when saving for a down payment on a home. Traditional vehicles like certificates of deposit, or CDs, and savings accounts can ensure the money buyers are saving for their homes is protected and not subject to market fluctuations. Saving enough to make a down payment on a home can be accomplished if buyers stay disciplined with regard to saving and make sound financial decisions.

Acclimating to a new neighborhood BY METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION
to congregate and plan trips to these restaurants and other shops. Over time, you probably will start to see some familiar faces. Drive around town and get a feel for side streets instead of the main thoroughfares. It’s often off the beaten path where you happen upon the greatest finds.
A
new year means plenty of exciting opportunities on the horizon. For a number of people, this may be the year they relocate to a new home or apartment. The moving rate in the United States has remained steady since 2008, with roughly 12 percent of the population relocating each year according to reports from the U.S. Census Bureau. Movement to the suburbs continues to be high, and renters tend to move more frequently than others. People who move cite a new job or a job transfer as one of the primary motivators to relocate. Acclimating to a new home and neighborhood after a move can be challenging. Even after boxes have been unpacked and items put away, some people still feel unsettled. It could be because one of the most important parts of being in a new house is feeling at home. That involves meeting neighbors, having friends over for dinner and knowing all of the local haunts that help solidify a homeowner as a true member of his or her new neighborhood. It can take time to establish feeings of belonging, but here’s a way to speed up settling in.
Host your own welcome party
Rather than waiting around for others to welcome
Get involved
If you have children, you may have the advantage of meeting people at school functions or at the bus stop. Volunteer with the PTA/PTO or sign up to coach youth sports or serve as a scout leader. These opportunities will help expand the number of people you meet in your new community.
you to the neighborhood, take the bull by the horns and introduce yourself to your neighbors in a fun way. Host an open house party and invite your new neighbors. What better way to converse with others than with food, beverages and a festive atmosphere? Plus, your party may lead to reciprocation from others.
Scout out the neighborhood
Use mobile phone apps to see where the locals tend
Find people with similar interests
Let your hobbies and other interests open up connections. Explore the opportunities in the area that cater to your interests. Find a local gaming shop and discuss the latest video game offerings, or check out a local band if indie music is your thing. Converse with others who are participating in the event or are in groups meeting in your area. After moving, getting acclimated to a new neighborhood and making new friends is one way to feel at home.

Personal Space
Quaint & Cozy BY KRISTI MCCABE
ust behind the Downs neighborhood in Owensboro’s bustling east end is a quiet little neighborhood with friendly neighbors and the benefit of proximity to many shopping centers and convenience stores. The home of Nolan and Ashley Thomas, located at 2640 Eastland Drive, is quaint with a modern twist, and has many unexpected amenities. “The location is perfect,” remarked Nolan Thomas. “We are close to everything. Wal-Mart is only three minutes away, and although I work on the other end of town, it only takes me eight minutes to get there with the new bypass extension.” This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has over 1,600 square feet of living space, in addition to a beautiful cedar-walled sunroom. The home was recently remodeled and has a new roof, all new flooring and carpeting, and new
lighting fixtures. The current owners have also created a dining room, making the main living area even more open. “We created a dining room by tearing down some walls,” explained Nolan. “This space used to be an office. The main living area is very open, since the kitchen, great room, and dining room are all essentially one big room.” The dining room is simply gorgeous, with its built-in shelving and porcelain tile that resembles hardwood flooring. The great room and kitchen are attached to the dining room, and feature the same porcelain tile. The great room has a bricked-in wall surrounding the fireplace and mounted flat-screen television. The kitchen’s oak cabinetry and white appliances blend well to create an aesthetically-pleasing effect, complementing the porcelain tile floors. The master suite is comfortable and spacious, with neutral wall and carpet coloring and his-and-hers vanities in the
bathroom. The master closet is the size of a small bedroom, perfect for the shoe aficionado or collector. “That closet is bigger than the bedroom I had growing up,” laughed Nolan. “I keep a gun safe in there.” A child’s bedroom has an attractive navy-and-green-striped wall, and is carpeted. The spare bedroom is also carpeted with a double window. The guest bathroom has an eye-catching octagonal-shaped window and shares the home’s characteristic porcelain tile flooring. The sunroom is perhaps the most unique room in the house, with beautiful cedar walls and cedar ceiling, wooden beams supporting the ceiling fan, and, of course, plenty of windows. This home has a two-car garage, a large backyard that is entirely fenced-in, and lots of attic space. The two-car, frontload garage has a beautiful decorative set of half-circle windows, and the long, covered front
porch offers a space for guests to sit and relax. “Part of the attic already has flooring, and the rest could easily be floored,” said Nolan. “You can access the attic through the garage, so you don’t have to worry about getting the house dirty. There is a lot of space up there for storage.” Perhaps the best feature about this home is the low cost of utility bills. “This house is very well-insulated,” remarked Nolan. “Our total utility bills are never over $150.” For those in search of a quaint, cozy home with lots of character, this one is a perfect fit. A young couple just starting out or empty-nesters looking to downsize would most certainly be charmed by this updated, modern, and comfortable cottage with a desirable locale.

Regardless this week (yes, some people still of the things we do to pretend, life correspond) that he was using is fleeting. It can be snuffed out at Christmas as a time to focus on the any second, even at Christmastime. outward instead of the inward. That’s It’s enough to make you want to what Scrooge learned to do in one night not participate in Christmas at from his ghostly friends. Most of us all; to let it die, to sleep, to end don’t have that advantage. While it the heartache and shut out the would be horrifying to be visited by light. That’s the temptation, and ghosts and given future knowledge of Broker, one’s destiny, it would be easier than likely the reason so many people choose Christmas as a time to die. etc. learning things the hard way in real Christmas is an idealized dream life. Still, we can take cues from our world. We have been conditioned to think that community rather than ghosts on how to focus Santa Claus is coming to town, and every boy on the needs of others.

When watching it Back to Hamlet… In thinking about the other night, as I do every season, I was hardening my heart this Christmas and still struck by how many Scrooges I come in focusing on the fact that it’s just a dream, just contact with throughout the year. Sometimes another day… I was reminded of the Scripture I even see him in the mirror. It’s easy to let a that says “The poor you will always have with storied character like that become a caricature you, and you can help them any time you want. of what they actually were intended to be: a But you will not always have me.” And that is depiction of a real person, not a cartoon.

The other and every day of the year. There are wars and reason is that his version of the story focuses deaths and crises of every kind.
