Paying for a home is the most important component in actually being able to buy it. Depending on what type of loan or mortgage you are taking out, the down payment can vastly change.

Trends constantly cycle in and out of style, making it hard to predict which are going to end up sticking and live to see another year. While they reflect the popular opinion of the public, they can be subjective to the individual that wants to participate. Have you ever heard the terms, millennial grey, minimalist chic, or cottagecore? These are design trends that have become popular to varying opinions of public discourse.

When you think of the holidays, what comes to mind? For me, and a great deal of others, it is a steady stream of snow covered movies on repeat. Some of my family’s personal favorites are Christmas with the Cranks, A Christmas Carol, It’s a Wonderful Life, Elf, Home Alone (1 & 2), and How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

Most states belong to one of two distinctions—those being ‘caveat emptor’ (buyer beware) states or full disclosure states.

Robocall rings. Another unknown number. A text with a sketchy link. An email claiming you owe money you've never heard of.
