It had been cloudy much of the day, but the sun decided to make an appearance for sunset -- and reflect beautifully off the clouds! I grabbed my iphone because ...

The home inspector often goes over the systems of the house, and explains how to run them, what to do (and not to do,) and what to keep an eye on/look...

Mortgage Commitment delays are happening more and more often. Here is some insight from a lender as to what he finds is the majority of the problem. Borrowers need to DOCUMENT EVERYTHING.
