CAN YOU QUALIFY FOR A MORTGAGE WHILE YOU'RE A STUDENT? If you’re attending college or graduate school and you’re thinking about buying a house, you may be able to get a mortgage. You will have to clear the same hurdles as other applicants, but you may face additional challenges if you’re not working full-time.

Should You Buy a House While Attending School?
How Can You Qualify for a Home Loan?
Homeownership is expensive, even for people with full-time jobs. If you’re only working part-time or not working at all, making ends meet will be tougher, unless you have a spouse or partner who earns enough to cover most of the bills or you receive money from your family.
A mortgage lender will look at your income, credit score, debt-to-income ratio and other factors that it uses to assess all applications. A lender may be wary if you have little or no income, but it may be willing to approve your application if you get a cosigner.
Housing prices vary widely from region to region. Costs for university housing also vary from one educational institution to another. If you can purchase an inexpensive property or buy a house and rent out bedrooms to cover most of the mortgage, you may spend less in the long run than you would spend on campus housing.
If you have student loans that you aren’t currently repaying, a lender may exclude them when it calculates your debt-to-income ratio. If you’re making loan payments now, that may or may not make it harder to qualify for a mortgage, depending on your monthly payment amount and debt-to-income ratio. Making payments on time can help you build a good credit score.
Look at your current monthly expenses and estimate how much a mortgage, private mortgage insurance, homeowners insurance, property taxes, maintenance and repairs would cost. Figure out if you could afford to cover all those costs, either on your own or with help from renters. Consider how long you would live in the house. If you expect to complete your degree and then move away, buying a house may not make sense financially. If you plan to put down roots in the area and stay there long after graduation, or if you’re thinking of a house as an investment, buying a property now may pay off.
The amount of money you can put down will be important. Some lenders will require a substantial down payment, while others will have less stringent requirements. Your age and where you want to buy a house may be relevant. In some states, you will be able to take out a mortgage at age 18, while in other places, the minimum age is 21. You may be eligible for a federal program that can help you buy a house. The Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Federal Housing Administration offer loan programs that have low down payment requirements and some that are specifically designed for first-time homebuyers.

4 TYPES OF SPECIALISTS TO USE WHEN MOVING There’s no getting around it—moving is stressful. This is especially true when you have valuables that need to be transported from your old home to your new one. While a good moving company is likely more than capable of handling the majority of your possessions, certain items may require working with specialists to ensure they’re delivered safely. Here are several types of moving specialists who can help deliver peace of mind when transporting your most prized possessions. ART HANDLERS
WINE SHIPPERS
Artwork can be both extremely valuable and fragile, which means the back of any old moving truck is probably the last place you want your collection to be. Fortunately, there are plenty of professional services dedicated to moving art with the utmost care. Top-tier companies will often build custom crates for each piece, transport them in climatecontrolled containers and even install the art in your new home.
Moving a large wine collection requires taking ample precautions that go far beyond packing it securely. Bottle shock, for instance, can occur simply from being jostled around in transit. That’s why it’s always worth hiring a professional wine shipping service to carefully move your collection in specialized boxes and temperaturecontrolled containers. If necessary, it’s also important to use a company that’s licensed to transport alcohol across state lines.
JEWELRY COURIERS Jewelry is often a cause for concern when moving. It’s quite common to simply take it in the car with you and move it on your own, however, this isn’t always possible. If you’re moving a considerable distance, or have a collection that’s more valuable than you feel comfortable transporting, then a secure courier service, like Brinks or Malca-Amit, is the way to go.
CAR TRANSPORTERS For car collectors, moving can be a logistical nightmare. After all, you can’t just pack up a fleet of luxury vehicles and be on your way. Professional car transporting services are ideal because they’re experienced in safely loading and unloading fine automobiles and will have enclosed carriers that protect them from the elements along the way.

Four Exciting Features for the
ULTIMATE
OUTDOOR KITCHEN Outdoor kitchens are on the rise in luxury real estate. As homeowners increasingly look to create their own private oasis in the backyard, a cooking space has become just as coveted as a sparkling swimming pool and spacious terrace where the whole family can spend time together. If you want an outdoor kitchen that leaves nothing to be desired, here are few exciting features to include.
Creative Living 74 Digest.indd 1

DELUXE GRILL The grilling station is often the centerpiece of the outdoor kitchen and essential for any warm-weather gathering in the backyard, which is why many homeowners choose to invest in a high-end option. If you want the versatility to prepare everyone’s favorite dishes, a deluxe grill that’s equipped with multiple burners, a rotisserie and a smoker box will ensure successful barbecues all season long.
popular option to endure outdoor conditions without compromising on style.
PIZZA OVEN If you want to mix up your menu and take a break from the grill, there’s nothing like a wood-burning pizza oven. With a wide variety of materials to choose from—such as natural stone, brick and clay, to name a few—you can get just the right aesthetic and elevate your outdoor kitchen to enjoy family pizza night on the patio.
REFRIGERATION When it comes to convenience, you simply can’t beat having your outdoor cooking area equipped with a refrigerator. This allows you to keep beverages, side dishes and any perishable ingredients nearby, avoiding the need to run back inside to the kitchen every time you need something. A sleek, stainless steel design is always a
BAR AREA For those who like to sip a cocktail or craft beer while lounging in the backyard, a well-designed bar area is in order. In addition to a bar counter and stools, you may want to include a prep area for mixing drinks, as well as a built-in kegerator that allows you to keep your favorite beer on tap.

Why Fixing the Floors Is So Important When Selling a House
Potential buyers are strongly influenced by first impressions. If people form a negative initial impression of your home, it may be impossible to change their minds. They may immediately decide that the house isn’t right for them and may not even bother to look further. Flooring is one of the first things that prospective buyers will notice, so be sure that the flooring in your house creates the impression you want.
Creative Living 74 Digest.indd 6
4/21/21 10:57 AM
Why Damaged Flooring Can Make It Hard to Sell Your House Potential buyers will instantly notice scratched hardwood floors or tile, stained or dirty carpet, damaged or stained linoleum, and pet odors. If the flooring looks or smells bad, it can be difficult for people to get past that and focus on the house’s positive qualities. No matter how much time and money you spend on cleaning, repairing, and staging in other parts of your home, buyers may not care about any of it if the flooring is in bad shape. When people view a house, they often make assumptions. If the flooring is damaged, prospective buyers may assume, rightly or wrongly, that you neglected maintenance in other areas. They may worry that the house has serious problems that are less obvious, and they may decide to look elsewhere for their next home. Buyers typically want a house they can move into as soon as possible. Many don’t want to go through the stress of making repairs before they move in. Even if you offer to lower the price to offset the cost of repairing or replacing the flooring, buyers may decide that it’s not worth the hassle. If other houses in the area that are similar to yours have hardwood flooring, but yours doesn’t, you will be at a disadvantage. Prospective buyers may choose a house with better flooring or they may only be willing to purchase yours if you accept an offer below the asking price.
How to Upgrade Your Home’s Flooring If your hardwood flooring is damaged, refinishing may be enough to make it look like new. Just don’t try to do it yourself. Refinishing hardwood floors is a job that should be left to professionals, since mistakes can cause more serious damage and can lead to much more expensive repair bills. Worn-out or dated carpet should be replaced. Choose new carpet in a neutral color or consider installing hardwood flooring if you can afford it. You may not like the idea of spending thousands of dollars on new flooring that you won’t get to enjoy, but it can pay off. New flooring can make it easier to sell your home and you will likely recoup most of your investment.
Talk to Your Agent Your real estate agent can discuss the features that comparable homes in the area have and how your house compares. Your agent can advise you on whether you should fix or replace the flooring to help attract a buyer and sell your house for the highest possible price. Reprinted with permission from RISMedia. ©2021.

WHY YOU SHOULD TEST A FEW PAINT COLORS BEFORE CHOOSING ONE The colors that you see on paint cans or cards in a store may not reflect the way the paint would look on your walls under different lighting. That’s why it’s a good idea to get a few samples and test them all in your home before you make a choice. LIGHTING AND DÉCOR CAN IMPACT PERCEPTION OF COLOR The lighting in a room will influence the way you see a paint color. Even if you use the same paint and the same number of coats on each wall, the shade on one wall may look different than those on other walls depending on the way light hits each section of the room. Those differences may be more pronounced than you would expect. Natural lighting can change throughout the day, and the types of artificial lights, their locations and the brightness of the bulbs can affect the way the paint color looks. The furniture, curtains and artwork in a room can also affect your perception of paint colors and may therefore influence your choice. It’s important to take all those factors into account.
HOW TO CHOOSE A COLOR Get at least three paint colors that are close to what you want. You can paint sections side by side on a wall to see differences between the shades and make comparisons. Make the sections at least 1 square foot and use two
coats of paint. Painting swatches on walls that get different amounts of natural light and arranging furniture, lighting and other décor the way you plan to have it after you finish painting can help you see how everything looks together. If you would rather not paint directly on the walls, you can paint sample boards or sample sizes of drywall and tape them to a wall. One of the benefits of that approach is that you can easily move sample boards from wall to wall to see how colors look under different conditions.
DON’T RUSH TO MAKE A DECISION Think about when you are most likely to be in the room and the amount and type of lighting that will be present. If you will spend a lot of time in the room during the day, focus on how each paint color looks in differing amounts of natural light. If you plan to use the room more at night, pay attention to how artificial lighting influences the way you perceive each color. Taking your time will help you be confident that you’re making the right decision. Reprinted with permission from RISMedia. ©2021. All rights reserved.
