This week, we're featuring our guest blogger, Harry Urban from Butler Mortgage. He's helping to answer the question, "How much can I afford when buying a home in Central Florida?". 

Qualifying for a mortgage will depend on your monthly gross income (before taxes), credit history, and down payment. So, how much house can you really afford? To know that, you need to understand the concept of Debt-To-Income Ratios.

Gone may be the days of Sunday afternoon open houses. With everything you can find on the internet, and so many living a fast-paced lifestyle, you just can’t wait until Sunday to tour a house when you think you’ve found your dream home. They say the early bird gets the worm, and the same goes for the buyer who sets up a tour of a home they think could be “the one”.

But when it comes to a showing, there are a few do’s and don’ts of touring a home for sale in Central Florida that buyers should be aware of… if you’ve ever sold a home yourself, you’ll probably already have an idea of what we’re going to share.

Summer is almost here and we're gearing up for some fun in the sun! Are you?

With summer comes many fun things to do locally, and we wanted to share three hot Central Florida events this June that you should add to your summer bucket list. 

137th Silver Spurs Rodeo 

Yes, you read that right. The 136th Silver Spurs Rodeo took place back in February, but June 10th through the 12th presents another chance for you to watch your favorite bull and bronc riding, steer wrestling and barrel racing from some of the country's best cowboys and top livestock. This is the largest sanctioned rodeo east of the Mississippi and is hosted at the indoor Silver Spurs Arena! What's even better about it this time around? The PRCA Wrangler Champions Challenge will take place in the midst of it all in addition to the second annual School's Out Blowout event! Find out more here.
