From a lender I know ... One of the most significant is their increase to the max debt-to-income (DTI). Currently, max is 45% however it will be increasing to 50%. This represents a significant increase to prospective Buyers’ purchasing power. Now, not everyone should go up to a 50%, but for those clients of ours who are saddled with significant student loan debt, are self-employed, are commission-based, on fixed income, etc. this will be a massive boost for them. --- what's not to like? -g-

No problem with COX yet: speedtest.net Cox limits monthly usage to 1024GB per month and then there are extra charges. I have been buying Rainbow Trout raw (in caught form, the actual fish) from Smiths (owned by Kroeger) for $4.99 a pound in Henderson. It is super delicious, much better than the $10.99 filet form from Sprouts. Actually, I was shocked to see Smith's selling the Raw Rainbow Trout. When I hitchhiked around the country 45 years ago, I brought my fishing rod and gear and often caught my dinner. I learned how to fish from my father who loved to go fishing. I love eating the head of the Rainbow trout. It is such a cute fish and much healthier to eat than Alaskan Salmon. I love Alaskan Salmon. Don't get me wrong. But Salmon has twice the amount of Sodium and cholesterol than Rainbow Trout does. It is so delicious. And yes, I do wash the rainbow trout thoroughly before I cook it. We are headed to Buenos Aires August 1 for 5 weeks. We would have left sooner but we left our passports and in my case, my birth certificate, in the file cabinets in NYC, which got dumped somewhere. If it was a financial document you could rest assured we would not have forgotten about it. It took one week to get my birth certificate and it only cost $23. Our passports came yesterday. We waited 2 weeks for that. We are kind of bimboish when it comes to non-financial matters. Now for Henderson, Nevada. We like it very much. It is a beautiful combination of city and suburbs with lots of magnificent hiking trails. The weather does not phase me in the least. I jog right after the market closes at 1pm and I hardly sweat. The people are nice and polite. I haven't heard a horn honk since I have been here. It is definitely slower here and we like it. There is a political consciousness here in Henderson and it is very liberal and anti-Trump. Many are living from paycheck to paycheck and they desperately want single payer universal healthcare. The reason why I despise most rich people is because they are right wing Republicans. But there are exceptions. We haven't been to Vegas in a couple of weeks and have no desire to go. We have not entered a casino yet to gamble.either. No interest there.
