More stringent screening means borrowers must watch credit until closing day

http://wapo.st/hEARSf


One loan officer describes it as a "financial colonoscopy" on your credit, and he suggests that anybody applying for a mortgage be prepared for it.



That's right, don't go buy a bunch of furniture for your new place, wait until you move in so you are more secure on your loan. For more tidbits like this, follow me at http://austinlaketravisstyle.blogspot.com/

Just Pure Cold


Ok, so I sat up in bed this morning at 4:27am knowing I had to be up at 5:00. Tv was on, and of course, I drifted off to sleep again. Well, at 5:50, I sat up and realized I had no Power. Ughhh. 19 Degrees, no lights, kids up and dressed in the dark. Then, run to school, a network marketing group meeting at Fins (with my 3 year old and the heater was broken and on and on). Got her to school about 45 mins late, go back home and guess what....no power still. So, here I sit in my office, hoping people don't laugh at me in my Longhorn Bini Hat and Colorado State Sweatshirt and say, hey man, you could have at least showered today. Well, it's all Austin, Lake Travis Style. Check out my blog daily for great info. http://austinlaketravisstyle.blogspot.com/
