		<description><![CDATA[Because I do mortgages, a lot of people ask me about interest rates.  Often times you will hear in the news that the Fed lowered or raised interest rates.  When you hear that, that doesn&#8217;t mean you should go out and refinance your home loan or thank your lucky stars for your low interest rate.   [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=laylismama.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1570022&amp;post=19&amp;subd=laylismama&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your debt to income ratio is a very important factor in determining how much of a monthly mortgage payment you can afford.  The bank likes to see your debt-to-income ratio at about 45% or less.  Some programs allow you to go as high as 55% and some only allow you to go up to 39%.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=laylismama.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1570022&amp;post=47&amp;subd=laylismama&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
