Whether you are considering the purchase of your first home or trading up to the home your family frequently fantasizes about, there are three crucial questions you must know the answer to:

1. What is the minimum down payment required to purchase a home?

2. What is the minimum FICO score required to qualify for a mortgage?

3. What is the maximum Back-End DTI Ratio allowed?

The Orlando Sentinel has this great article “9 Ways You Know You Live in Downtown Orlando!” It’s great fun!!

There’s no other place in Central Florida quite like downtown Orlando.

From its abundance of bars and clubs to its brick streets that line the surrounding neighborhoods, downtown Orlando is a special place that attracts a special type of resident.

You know who you are because, unlike your friends who live in Altamonte Springs or Dr. Phillips, you’re OK watching young couples argue as they walk home on a Saturday night. You look forward to the Sunday morning Farmers’ Market and the guy who sells the world’s best orange juice. And a quiet night out means going to the bars in Thornton Park instead of the clubs on Church Street.

For those who dwell along Orange Avenue, walk to the Amway Center for Orlando Magic games and stroll around Lake Eola Park every weekend, we’ve complied a list for you: ‘9 Ways You Know You Live in Downtown Orlando.”

And if you have a suggestion for the list, email jbusdeke@orlandosentinel.com, tweet me @JonBusdeker or message me on Facebook. I’ll post the best ones here on my blog.

Thanks Jon!
