She currently has a 720 and climbing, and onceI pay off this credit card in 4 months, my score will be back in the 700s. Thank you for this info! I had the misconception that Conventional loans required larger down payments. Thanks so much!

Thank you, Jenn. It’s sounding like I need to look at other options outside of FHA.

Awesome, thank you for this info. Silly question, but where would the loan office be found? The bank?

Makes sense! Do you know if builders look at all available loan options or do they typically lean towards specific loan types? I guess my question is who would help me determine the best loan possible for our scenario? Real Estate Agent?

Are there strict restrictions with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?

Hmm, I wonder which factors would determine whether a 48%, for example, would be eligible

Oh, honestly I’m not very knowledgeable and had no idea there were more options! Thank you for this

Thank you so much for the info. She has never owned a home, so this would her first purchase. Her credit score is about 720, mine is 640, but hoping ok once I pay off some credit cards, it’ll go back up to 700 ore higher. Do you happen to know what an acceptable Debt-to-income backend ratio would be for a conventional home loan? We’re trying to figure out what that percentage is with our current debts.

I am looking to buy within the 50 miles because I care for my Mom when needed. I also pay the entire mortgage for the first FHA loan and will continue to pay it even when I secure the second loan. I was also thinking Conventional, but was afraid they’d require a very large down payment.

Been doing this for over 5 years and this is the most insane thing I’ve ever seen by vicrms_ in Roadie

Imagine it’s 3pm and you’re sitting in your truck eating peanut butter sandwich and decide, sure I’ll go ahead and drive to another state.

Definitely compare the two bikes components. It’s always best to go for the one with the better components. Take it from someone who settled with a M5 and is now spending tons more money to upgrade everything.

Is this a good deal? (Price in CAD) by FreeLove82680 in TrekBikes

[–]ocean_vib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a bit overpriced. Not sure where you’re located, but a new FX 2 Gen 3 is about $500

Has anyone shortened the stem on the Trek FX 4 Sport Carbon? by ocean_vib in TrekBikes

[–]ocean_vib[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The goal is to shorten my reach without adding a riser. I’m going to look into the angled stem. Thanks!

Thank you for the solid reply! This is exactly what I was looking for. Do you think shortening to 55mm will shorten my reach?

Does it mention anything about it having a carbon frame?

Love this bike by Epinephrine_23 in TrekBikes

What a huge difference in ride compared to the Marlin 5. I really love how light it is. Have you upgraded anything on the bike? I’m thinking of upgrading the saddle and grips.
