Interior designers are getting ready to transform another former Conseco executive’s home for the 2009 Decorators’ Show House.

They have increased from $200,160 to $271,050.  What does this mean…..more listings that can be sold to buyers who don’t have the larger down payment or sparkling credit.
I can’t emphasize enough how fantastic this is for all of us. The market has made the rates on FHA just as attractive as Conventional….and the PMI isn’t as costly. So, at the end of the day, your seller might be able to sell their home….or your buyer can get into a home that,  in the past,  w...
