That doesn’t sound quite right. Are you sure it’s not “3% closing costs” as opposed to “3% of the closing costs”? You’re not paying “97% of the closing costs” after all; you’re paying the remainder of the closing costs not covered by the 3% of the selling price.

Actually, it’s possible, but it requires a specific type of loan: FHA 203K, aka Rehab Mortgage Loan (http://goo.gl/xD4OHi).

This only works for a type of personality: I schedule my grocery trips a half-hour or less, before the store closes. I don’t panic, but rather, it forces me to be tightly focused and organized on what I need to get, and limit the amount of time that I wander around looking at stuff.

“Things like fixed mortgages, car loans and federal student loans are pegged to a long-term rate, so the impact of a Fed hike won’t feed through to them quite as immediately.”

I’ve been cooking my dog’s food for the last 3 years now, and the problem I’ve run into is that there is a lot of contradicting information out there, and the internet simply amplifies it. Here are the things in that chart that I have issues with:

Special ingredient: Spam. Trust me.

Number one problem I’ve come across, is overcooked and/or dried-up food. I still take the meal and scrap what I can from it — chocolate-covered macadamia nuts and cookies! — but for the most part I ignore the rest of the meal and dig in to the one I brought with me. :D

I have just two rules: Sleep when you’re tired, however feels comfortable.

I think the headline should read, “Calculate whether to file jointly or separate.”

Yeah, that was the step of last resort...I didn’t want to have to give everyone out a new password.

I think 25% is too low as your income will increase over time, but never base your target on the maximum your mortgage preap qualifies you for!

I once lived in an apartment building that used commercial flushometers instead of the standard toilet and bowl. I miss that thing. Used barely any water and never ever clogged.

When I signed out, I did leave these suggestions via your website. It’s good to know that you’re responsive and open, by reviewing the comments on Lifehacker, too.

So, I registered just to check it out, as I have something to compare it to — My parents’ recent adventure into exploring a will with a lawyer. These are my thoughts:

I wrote it on a post-it note, and stuck it to the router’s manual. Next time I will write it directly on the router!

Oh thank goodness...I was wondering if I’d have to reset my parent’s router, all because they lost the piece of paper I explicitly told them not to lose. :D

Housing is an excellent investment, because housing rental prices tend to be sticky downward, but have limited upward resistance (except of course, in areas where rent control laws exist). As such, assuming you have a fixed rate mortgage, you will discover after a decade, even after going through a recession or two,…

The detailing is impeccable.

I’ve never noticed a flavor from the soap; but then, I try to avoid soaps and detergents with scents.

Looks good...but only problem is, I don’t peel many root vegetables; I scrub them with soap and water and eat everything that didn’t wash off. Am I weird?
