HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR CREDIT AND BUY A HOME What You Can Do to Improve Your Credit Credit scores, along with your overall income and debt, are big factors in determining whether you'll qualify for a loan and what your loan terms will be. So, keep your credit score high by doing the following: 1. Check for and correct any errors in your credit report. Mistakes happen, and you could be paying for someone else's poor financial management. 2. Pay down credit card bills. If possible, pay off the entire balance every month. Transferring credit card debt from one card to another could lower your score.3. Don't charge your credit cards to the maximum limit.4. Wait 12 months after credit difficulties to apply for a mortgage. You're penalized less for problems after a year.5. Don't order items for ...

HOME BUYERS 100% FINANCING USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT HOME LOAN IN JEOPARDY IN ST MARYS COUNTY MD Be prepared if you are planning to buy a home and were hoping to use the 100% FINANCING USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT HOME LOAN.  Notice was delivered from Washington DC on March 9, 2010 that funds for this program are nearly depleted and will run out in late Apri, 2010.  This has happened in years past but this time the USDA states that they are "not certain when additional funding will be available".

Can't wait to see how they did! Miss America 2010 said that one of her first tasks was to be a spokeswoman for this event: My daughter being a rice-a-roni eating college student couldn't wait to participate. Her and her friends stood in line for 20 minutes. Nearly the entire campus was there. Nevertheless, they got perfect hot pancakes in ten minutes. They donated! (and might have bought some 3...

FHA DOWNPAYMENT DEPENDS ON CREDIT SCORE What does it mean that the FHA DOWNPAYMENT DEPENDS ON CREDIT SCORE?    If your FICO credit score is more than 580, the FHA is NOT raising the current 3.5% minimum downpayment.  This is GOOD. Even if your FICO credit score is less than 580, you can still buy, but you will need 10% down, this is GOOD for those who find themselves with weak credit scores. Unfortunately the upfront Mortgage Insurance Premium is raising to 2.25 from 1.75 and seller concessions are reduced from 6%-3% across the board. More GOOD News:   Interest rates and prices remain low and the $8,000 First Time Home Buyer, and $6,500 Current Owner, Tax Incentives are still in place.  NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY!!

It is sponsored by the Optimist Clubs of St. Mary’s County and many other groups, including corporate donations from Wal-Mart.    After the shopping was done, officers from the St. Mary Sheriff’s Office, State Police and many others, traveled to the county fairgrounds to help the children wrap the presents.   By using this coupon Damon's Clubhouse will donate 15% of your bill to SHOP WITH A  COP!
