Instagram can be a treasure trove of ideas for your home or apartment. Do you need organizational tips or ideas for your next furniture project? Or do you just want to look at pictures of pretty buildings and rooms? It’s all right at your fingertips.
But with all the home-related Instagram feeds out there, it can be overwhelming to know where to go to find the best of the best. Here are some recommendations for décor, architecture, and DIY projects.
Décor

Bright accessories are everywhere, as are bold prints and pops of color. If you want to learn how to successfully mix prints and colors, this is the place to go.

For conventional financing, borrowers with scores at 740 or anywhere above generally receive the same loan pricing (rate and cost). That being said, the better your credit the higher your chances of receiving loan approval with high debt to income (up to 50%) or high loan to value (up to 95%) which can be a major benefit when applying for a new loan. For Jumbo financing, borrowers with credit scores above 800 are generally rewarded with both better pricing and easier guidelines. There are no situations where better credit is a negative when obtaining new financing so we should all continue to strive to reach and then stay in the 800’s.
What are the advantages of a score over 800
Thank you Mike for this information. As a residential realtor the information that you provide is crucial to a successful transaction for my clients. You are indeed a pleasure to recommend to all of my clients. You are so professional, thorough, conscientious and pleasant to work with. !!
Hi Dane! Wanted to make sure I'm clear on this. Am I right in saying that on whichever remodel is done you still take a loss rather than an increase in value - the ROI will never exceed 100% of cost?
