Great tips for finding the best Mortgage Lender for you, by Guy Olds: It doesn’t matter whether you are purchasing your first home or second or even third, you are going to need to take out a mortgage to cover the costs of this purchase. So it is vital that you dedicate some time initially to finding the best mortgage lenders possible. Below we offer some tips that could help you to do just that.

• When it comes to you getting a mortgage how much the rate is on the loan is crucial. So it is advisable to spend time comparing a number of different lenders before making your final decision. When it comes to rates we aren’t just talking about the interest you will be required to pay on your loan but any closing costs that you will incur as well. These costs could add upwards of $2,000 on to the mortgage you are considering taking out and you may well be required to pay these upfront to the lender.

• When it comes to selecting the best mortgage lender you would be wise to know exactly what your credit score is at present. If you get preapproval from your mortgage lender they will then review your credit report to determine whether you are going to be a risk to them or not. By actually obtaining this yourself you could save yourself a small sum as the lender will charge a fee for obtaining this information themselves. Plus be aware that if too many checks are carried out on your credit report then this could actually lead to your score being damaged because the reporting agencies will deduct points for these searches to be completed.

Each year a new wave of first time home buyers hits the trail in search of their humble abode. Eager buyers must understand the true value of home ownership. There are advantages to buying a home and there is the matter of timing, which can have a lot to do with the housing market and related financing programs.
What to consider when deciding on buying a home vs. renting according to an article by Dr Sharon L Bender

• Buying a home means garnering equity, if the owner keeps the house long enough to overcome the initial cost of its purchase, that is. That can be one of the most surprising matters associated with home ownership.
• Buying a home brings a sense of pride and accomplishment. Buying a home is also an opportunity to express more freely your personal taste, as long as the neighbours don’t have to view your idea of a decent-looking sculpture in your front yard every time they pull out of their driveway. Not only is there more freedom with home ownership, but there is likely more space than one would find in a rented apartment.
• Buying a home brings a realization that you are part of a more permanent community in which you might be a contributor to the well being of others around you. In a rented home or apartment one might feel less involved and temporary when we humans tend to be territorial, inherently needing to claim a piece of ground as our own with its sense of permanence. We think about raising children and providing them with “roots” that grow in a yard rather than on a crowded balcony.
• When owning a home, each monthly payment is like putting money into a savings account rather than giving it to the landlord when renting. Each time the mortgage is paid a percentage goes toward your “equity.” This is indeed like having money in the bank as it is something you can draw upon later if needed. Whereas rental rates increase yearly, the principle on your mortgage is going down with each payment. Plus as the housing market grows, so do the valuations of homes.

Buying a home brings a sense of accomplishment, but “nothing happens unless first a dream!”

Are you looking for a moment to escape from the hustle and bustle of big city life? Now you can enjoy the solitude of Radnor Lake Park in Nashville, Tennessee.  This state park’s nature preserve is located in the heart of historic Nashville, which makes it an unusually close get away for city dwellers.

The park prides itself on the four unpaved trails that wander through the woods and surrounding lake, where hikers enjoy wilderness native to Middle Tennessee, including mink, bobcat, beavers, river otters, muskrat, white tailed deer and coyote. Hunting is illegal on the natural area. The paved road that runs along the water is the most famous trail, and it no longer permits cars to travel it. There is a visitor’s center open daily for your convenience.

Although the park is only a day park, it makes a wonderful place to stroll through the tall trees and to explore the greenery and beautiful natural settings that only such an environment can offer. Imagine working downtown and being able to take a long walk during your lunch break, or to take in an afternoon stroll with a colleague or friend. The park is close enough to downtown to eliminate travel time that is often wasted.

It is no secret that living near such an enormous and beautiful park such a Radnor Lake Park, and being able to reside near the entities a downtown metro area affords, is a great combination! Friends, when it comes to alleviating undo stress, this is the answer. Come enjoy the luxury of living by this state of the art wilderness park and working and living in old historic Nashville, Tennessee. Once you take a moment to enjoy the solitude of Radnor Lake Park in Nashville, TN., you will not want to leave!
