re you considering buying a home? Are you looking for a way to buy without depleting your savings? If so, you should know there are ways to qualify for a mortgage sooner than you think and for less. Insured low down payment mortgages are affordable and safe loan options that are offered by most lenders and help homebuyers achieve this goal. A low down payment mortgage with private mortgage insurance (MI) in particular is a great time-tested option that has helped more than 1.3 million families qualify for a home sooner than they otherwise could. So, how does MI work, and how much can it really save you?

The 20% down payment myth If you’ve been putting off buying a home in order to save up a 20% down payment, there is good news: it isn’t necessary.

Surprised? You are not alone. While almost 80% of homebuyers think a 20% down payment is required, the fact is the average first-time homebuyer who obtains a mortgage puts just 6% down.

How is this possible? While there are several low down payment mortgage options available, conventional loans with private MI have been borrowers’ preferred loan choice for a number of years. Private MI is a smart way to get into a home sooner, saving the borrower time, and potentially money, considering that home prices may move up over time, so waiting could cost the borrower more in the long run.

How does an insured mortgage work?

Private MI can help a borrower with much less than a 20% down payment qualify for a home loan - with the average down payment being just 6% in 2019 - and is typically paid monthly along with the mortgage payment. The benefit is not just that the borrower is able to qualify for a home sooner, but also that private MI is temporary. Unlike government-insured mortgages backed by the

Federal Housing Administration (FHA), private MI cancels after 20% equity is established either through payments or home price appreciation. When the MI is cancelled, your monthly mortgage bill goes down.

When to buy a home?

The right time to purchase a home is different for everyone, especially nowadays. But as we adapt to a changing world, it is important to know that MI continues to help borrowers achieve homeownership, and it is possible to benefit from historically low mortgage interest rates and buy a house without exhausting your savings. In fact, a recent report from U.S. Mortgage Insurers found that MI has helped more than 33 million families become homeowners over the past 60+ years without putting down 20%.

You can find how many people in your state used private MI to purchase their home in the last year by accessing that same report.

Interest rates are at an all-time low and millions of people continue to achieve the dream of homeownership thanks to private MI. To learn more about how private MI compares to other low down payment options, visit LowDownPaymentFacts.org.

o you prefer walking and biking to sitting in traffi c? Love the hustle and bustle of the city but abhor long commutes? Enjoy taking a spontaneous stroll to a nearby restaurant for dinner and music. If this sounds like you, we suggest you forget life in the ‘burbs and go urban.

A growing resurgence in downtown Nashville has brought a wealth of living options to the city’s urban landscape, along with a vibrant community of restaurants, shops and clubs.

For urban dwellers, The Gulch in downtown Nashville is the place to be. Properties like Velocity, Terrazzo and Encore offer the ultimate digs for downtown living. And with the tremendous growth this former railroad yard has seen, you can always find something to do here. Of course there’s always music. (It is Music City, after all.) Travel + Leisure

recently cited Nashville as having the #1 “Music Scene” in the country. From Tootsie’s to Mercy Lounge to The Station Inn, downtown music venues offer everything from rock and country to bluegrass and rockabilly.

If you’re looking to set up shop, office space downtown is plentiful and growing. Speaking of the office: Did you know that Forbes.com ranks Nashville 10th in the country of “Best Places for Business and Careers”? And sixth among “Best Cities for Jobs”? Plus Business Insider recently took note of Nashville as one of the “13 Hottest American Cities for 2016.” The nod cited Music City as the “new center of the auto and health-care industries,” noting 300- plus health-care companies and more than 30,000 auto industry jobs.

The growth, action and entertainment extend to numerous dining and entertainment options down on Lower Broadway and out on West End. Not to mention the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, The Parthenon, Centennial Park, Hillsboro Village… the list goes on.

Davidson

These are just a few of the reasons to consider living in the heart of Music City. One more reason: We’re just so darn nice. But don’t take our word for it. Travel + Leisure’s 2015 survey ranked Nashville #1 on its list of America’s Friendliest Cities.

TIPS FOR

planting fall bulbs Deena Bouknight, More Content Now

T

o ensure colorful spring gardens, bulbs must be planted in fall. They need several weeks underground to grow roots before the ground freezes.

Gardeners can determine specific plant hardiness zones by entering a ZIP code on the Department of Agriculture’s site: planthardiness.ars.usda.gov.

Advised the 2020 Farmer’s Almanac: “In general, try to plant when nightly temperatures are around 40 or 50 degrees, or about six weeks before you expect the ground to freeze. Most spring bulbs need a chilly period to bloom, so if you live in an area where the ground doesn’t freeze (zones 8 to 11), then you’ll need to chill them. Leave the bulbs in the bags you bought them in, and simply place them in your refrigerator for six to 10 weeks before planting.”

House Beautiful’s “10 Best Bulbs to Plant in the Fall” for color and general success in most plant hardiness zones are daffodil, leucojum

(also called snowflake), hyacinth, crocus, allium, starflower, tulip, grape hyacinth, dwarf iris and scilla.

Gardeners can learn from packaging labels and research which bulbs work best in particular regions, how much sunlight is required, best soil for planting, watering instructions, and recommended planting depth and spacing. Bulbs can be planted in rows or patterns, or around the base of trees or shrubs.

By learning exactly when each type of bulb may bloom, gardeners can achieve constant blooms and varying colors from early to late spring. For example, daffodils and hyacinths are early bloomers, tulips will bloom early to late spring, and allium typically bloom in late spring. The National Gardening Association noted tulips are available in thousands of varieties, including hues of apricot, pink, salmon, red and deep maroon, and with petals that are ruffled, fringed or lily-shaped.

Gardeningknowhow.com suggested protecting bulbs against squirrels and other rodents by covering with mulch and/or mesh.

ashville has long been known for its country music scene, but these days the city draws attention for more than its tunes. National publications are taking note of everything Nashville, from food and fashion to music and more.

meals (Margot Cafe & Bar). And with standout restaurants like Adele’s, The Catbird Seat and Husk, the city is drawing attention from publications like USA Today and Southern Living.

In 2015, Forbes magazine ranked Nashville on its list of “Boom Towns for College Graduates,” and Forbes.com calls Music City one of the “Best Places for Business and Careers.” Time declared the city as “Red Hot” for a burgeoning music business, a diverse and thriving music scene, and our charming ability to live among the stars and leave them alone.

Nashville has even been noticed for one of its delightful Southern charms: its accent. While accents are sometimes the source of jokes and ridicule, Travel + Leisure readers seem to think otherwise.

On a list of “America’s Most Charming Accents,” readers ranked Nashville #4. Seems folks love the Nashville drawl, y’all, noting that residents here have “added some city” to their Southern accent.

Some may think of Nashville as a meat-and-three kind of town, but Nashville’s hip food scene is getting noticed. Travel + Leisure lauded the city for offerings as diverse as hot chicken (Prince’s), Mexican popsicles (Las Paletas) and farm-to-table

Nashville’s vibrant music scene is another trait that earns nods.

Travel + Leisure recently cited the city as having the #1 “Music Scene” in the country. And with venues like The Bluebird Cafe, 3rd and Lindsley, The Station Inn and Ryman Auditorium, it’s no surprise that Orbitz declared Nashville’s music scene as #4 in the country (right behind NYC, LA and Chicago).

Music City is also a thriving hub for industry; many companies have a long history here. Bridgestone, HCA, BMI, Thomas Nelson Publishing, Louisiana-Pacific and Dollar General all have corporate offices here — a testament to strong business foundations and economic growth.

ur home used to be an escape from the daily routine, and now more than ever it has become our shelter from the outside world. Now our home may be more part of our

daily routine, too,” said Cristina Miguelez, remodeling specialist for Fixr, a resource for home remodeling projects. “As more people are starting to work from home, do homeschooling, exercise at home or even enjoy the holidays at home, we may start having the need to ‘escape from home,’ which may translate into creating new spaces within our houses where we relax, where we work or where we carry out certain activities like exercising or studying. This will allow us to separate our routine from our respite.”

More and better designed spaces for people to gather is a practical fix, especially in kitchens as people cook more at home and involve the whole family, said Carla Aston, interior designer at Aston Design Studio, The Woodlands, Texas.

office or setting up a little makeshift office in a common area of the home, depending on their house plan,” Miguelez said. “In the long term, however, we may see a rising interest in adding new home offices.”

“I have seen requests for rooms for exercise and play at home.

With no access to fitness clubs, more people are wanting a place at home with some equipment to be able to keep up their fitness routines. Children need more space to spread out and play and burn off energy,” Aston said.

Over the last few years, the open floor plan has been growing in popularity, but this trend could be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Additionally, bathrooms will become more of a retreat or an oasis for pampering, relaxation and escape, she said.

Dedicated office spaces “People understand they may not be going back to the office, so they need to improve their home office spaces,” said Lori Wiles, principal interior designer at Lori Wiles Design in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. In addition to improving their virtual backgrounds and adding more light for better visuals, the acoustics in many home offices need to be addressed.

“They don’t want to sound like they’re in a box,” Wiles said.

Easy fixes include adding softer materials like rugs and draperies and “bass traps” to capture sound so deep voices don’t appear to be emanating from an echo chamber, she said.

“In the short term homeowners will be more likely to create a working space by either converting an existing room into a home

“Many people who have kids or other family members living in an open floor plan house found it difficult to work during quarantine because they don’t have spaces to shut down the noise totally,” Miguelez said. “This might change the open floor building trend we’ve been seeing recently.”

Outdoor spaces People are also paying attention to outdoor spaces like patios and decks where they can get together with others, at a safe distance if needed, or by themselves, Wiles said.

“Outdoor spaces are becoming very real extensions of the home and a much needed place to retreat out of the house,” Aston said.

“Outdoor living will definitely be high on the priority list for more usable space without having to add on.”

The quarantine experience may even change the downsizing trend of the last few years because homeowners will desire to have more spaces for these activities, Miguelez said.

ith one of the top high schools in the state, a mass transit plan in the works and a wealth of recreational opportunities, Sumner County has plenty to brag about. This area just northeast of Nashville offers a quality of life that many new-home buyers find attractive. Residents here enjoy the hometown feel of cities like Gallatin and Hendersonville but appreciate the nearby big-city perks of Nashville.

The county’s largest city, Hendersonville, is home to Merrol Hyde Magnet School, named the fourth best high school in Tennessee in U.S. News & World Report’s most recent ranking of America’s Best High Schools. Gallatin - the county seat) is home to Volunteer State Community College, a public two-year college that offers associate degrees, certificates and continuing education opportunities. With more than 70 academic programs and classes

offered on site and online, Vol State is an educational and economic asset to Sumner County and the entire region.

The Gallatin area is a sportsman’s paradise; fishing and boating opportunities abound along the county’s many miles of shoreline on Old Hickory Lake, and lakefront or golf course homes are plentiful at communities like Fairvue Plantation. Hendersonville has an extensive system of greenway biking and walking trails with plans to expand its bike trail system. Several golf courses dot the county, including Country Hills Golf Course and Bluegrass Yacht & Country Club - both in Hendersonville), and The Club at Fairvue Plantation and Long Hollow Golf Course - both in Gallatin).

The Greensboro North Park & Ride lot in Gallatin is making life easier for Sumner County commuters, with the Regional Transit Authority’s Gallatin Express bus not only easing the commute for those who ride the bus but also reducing traffic for those who drive.

Through careful planning and sustained economic growth, Sumner County continues to build on its existing assets, which helps it attract more workers, more residents and more business. It’s easy to see why home buyers and builders find this an appealing place to live, work, play and do business.

eel and stick wallpaper may be the answer. Removable and re-positional wallpaper is suitable for many home projects. The most obvious purpose, of course is to quickly create a wall, but there are many more uses as well. Additional uses include making over a dresser, creating custom laptop covers, and more. Keep in mind that not all are created equal. Be sure that you choose one that will last and not fall off your wall.

There are many brands, but whichever you choose, be sure that it has an adhesive that will remove without leaving a sticky residue and that will not damage your surface.

R

esidents of Rutherford County have the benefi t of urban conveniences along with the pastoral beauty of the countryside.

Attracted by affordable housing, good schools and job opportunities, residents here enjoy a variety of cultural, educational and recreational opportunities.

Rutherford County continues to receive national recognition for the quality of life it offers. Forbes magazine recently ranked the Nashville/Davidson County- MurfreesboroFranklin area fourth on its list of “Best Cities for Jobs,” and in 2015 Murfreesboro ranked 11th on Wallet Hub’s list of Fastest Growing Cities.

Murfreesboro, the county’s largest city, is the geographic center of the state. Higher education is easily accessible at Middle Tennessee State University and the Tennessee Technology Center at Murfreesboro. And there are a host

of historic, cultural and educational sites here, including the Discovery Center at Murfree Spring, Stones River National Battlefield and the Sam Davis Home.

Home buyers can find small-town luxury at Murfreesboro’s Wynthrope Hall, while townhomes and spacious single-family homes are available at Evergreen Farms. Affordable new singlefamily homes are found just south of the city at Buchanan Estates in the Christiana community.

Located just outside of Murfreesboro is the city of Smyrna, an area exploding with retail and business development complemented by affordable quality housing. Colonial Town Park shopping center includes retail establishments like Kohl’s and a Super Target. Smyrna offers opportunities for higher education at its branch center for Motlow State Community College (based in Lynchburg).

Just minutes away in La Vergne — which made NerdWallet’s list of 10 Best Cities for African-Americans — sits the state’s largest industrial park. La Vergne is also home to the headquarters of several big businesses, including Ingram Books and Bridgestone/Firestone.

Brentwood | Franklin | Fairview | Nolensville | Thompson’s Station

W

hether you’re strolling downtown Franklin, dining in Cool Springs, shopping at The Factory or looking for antiques in Leiper’s Fork, you’ll find that Williamson County supports diverse lifestyles and offers a wealth of housing options.

From Franklin’s Westhaven community, which features a walkable design with retail establishments located in the neighborhood, to the rural setting of Winterset Woods in Nolensville, you’ll find plenty of new homes to choose from. And whether you choose a larger city like Franklin (the county seat) or one of the smaller communities like Arrington or Fairview, you’ll find housing and amenities in a variety of styles and price ranges.

It’s hard to decide whether Franklin is a big city with a small-town feel or a small town with big-city advantages.

CoolSprings Galleria and its surrounding business district serve

a variety of consumer needs — from dining to furniture, housewares to clothing and more. The Crossings in nearby Spring Hill features tenants like Target, Kirkland’s, and Bed, Bath & Beyond.

If you prefer the rural life, head to the pastoral paradise of Thompson’s Station, located just minutes from downtown Franklin and not that far from downtown Nashville. In nearby Nolensville, you can stop in at the new Nolensville Farmers Market for fresh produce, flowers, homemade foods and more.

Williamson County is home to businesses large and small, from home-owned enterprises like Yarrow Acres and McCreary’s Irish Pub to national headquarters for companies like Nissan, Tractor Supply and Mars Petcare. Small wonder, then, that Bloomberg ranked the Nashville area (including Franklin and Murfreesboro) as number eight on its list of Top 10 American Boomtowns (based on population growth and growth in gross domestic product). According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, last year Williamson was the #1 county on the list of Fastest Growing Job Markets in the U.S., and Backgroundcheck.org ranked the cities of Brentwood (#1) Franklin (#3) and Spring Hill (#5) among the Safest Cities in Tennessee.

With small-town charm, major employers and a healthy economic climate, if you’re looking for good country living in a growing and thriving community, Williamson County could be just the place.

Moves When Hiring Movers

T

NAPS

he U.S. Census Bureau estimates that over 17 million Americans move to a new home every year. If you’re ever among them, knowing a few facts and figures can help you have a smoother move.

Moving Tips To help, the experts at the American Moving and Storage Association, the national trade association for professional movers, created a checklist.

1

Do comparison shopping. Even if you’re considering doing the move yourself, you should get at least three written, in-home estimates so you can make an informed choice.

The estimates should be free, so you have nothing to lose by trying to find out whether a professional move is best for you.

Some movers even offer estimates based on videos and photos you submit online. Make sure you show the mover everything that needs to be moved, from the attic to the basement, and any sheds, garages or storage areas. The mover needs a complete picture of everything to be moved to give you the most accurate estimate.

Reputable interstate movers will always give you estimates in writing and they must—by law—provide you with federal publications that explain the moving process and your rights and responsibilities. Be careful of any estimates offered over the phone or online, and if the mover asks for a large down payment or full payment in advance.

2 3 4

Read your paperwork carefully. Remember, once you’ve signed a contract, you’ve agreed to what it says about your move.

Understand what the mover’s level of liability is, in case of loss or damage.

Bear in mind that communication is key. Make sure the mover has your cell phone number or other way to reach you during the move and that you have the driver’s full name and the truck number.

34

If you don’t understand something, ask questions.

Reputable movers will be happy to answer them. If the moving company can’t or won’t answer your questions, you might want to look for another mover.

You can find nearly 2,800 certified ProMovers, who meet high standards of safety and professionalism, at www.Moving.org. A ProMover certification takes the worry and hassle out of your move and helps you locate reputable, qualified movers—from small, family-run businesses to national van lines—who have been trained and tested.

For further facts and tips and to find nearby certified movers, go to www.Moving.org. Knowing what to ask and expect of your moving company can help make moving a lot easier.

f you’re looking to settle in an area where you can enjoy small-town values with big-city benefits nearby, Wilson County is a wise choice.

Whether you choose the county seat of Lebanon with its quaint city square, Mt. Juliet with its easy access to Nashville or Watertown and its rural charm, Wilson County offers a place where education is valued and the county fair is the event of the year. Business is booming here, which is a testament to the friendly business climate. No doubt that businessfriendly attitude played a part in the growth of the Providence community in Mt. Juliet, which is adding Providence Central, a mixed-use community of housing, retail and office space.

Wilson County has also been making strides in expanding and upgrading the county’s schools. The county commission approved a $63-million school building plan that paid for a new high school in Watertown (which opened in 2014) and brought expansions at West Wilson Middle School and West and Rutland elementary schools. In recent years the county has added Winfree Bryant Middle School in Lebanon (2011), Lebanon High School (2012) and a high school in Mt. Juliet (2008).

Other signs of growth include the Highway 109 bridge joining Wilson and Sumner counties. Completed in 2014, the $29.5 million four-lane structure, replaced an old two-lane bridge from the 1950s.

Leaders in both counties say the bridge will provide an economic boost for their communities.

Rail transportation is set to expand in Lebanon with a new stop on the Music City Star line. The award of a $1.6-million grant will help fund the proposed rail station at Hamilton Springs, making it Middle Tennessee’s first mixed-use development designed around a train station. The Lebanon Planning Commission approved the site plan for the train stop last year. Hamilton Springs will be the seventh station on the Music City Star line.

But it’s not all growth and business in Wilson County. People here also know how to have fun. Take their pride in producing a top-notch county fair. According to Carnival Warehouse, based on attendance and other attributes, the Wilson County Fair ranks among the top 50 fairs in North America. From pride in a county fair to savvy business and civic leaders who promote a healthy business climate, there are many reasons to love and live in Wilson County.

Robertson

Coopertown | Springfield | White House

T

he pace of life may move a bit slower in Robertson County, but that hasn’t slowed the wheels of economic growth in this rural outpost located just north of Nashville.

But don’t let that growth concern you. County leaders here are working on a carefully thoughtout plan for development. The plan’s goal: preserve the county’s agricultural economy and quality of

life while attracting businesses and jobs to designated growth areas, mostly within the county’s existing city centers.

The county’s proposed 2040 Comprehensive Growth Plan calls for school improvements, road improvements and more diverse housing options. Other goals include retaining and creating jobs, adding more higher-paying jobs and attracting a diverse population and workforce.

Johnson Electric and Martinrea Fabco also call this area home. In addition to the growing economic picture in Robertson County, there’s also the way of life that residents are determined to maintain. From local treasures like Burdett’s Tea Shop & Trading Company to the Shade Tree Farm (where you pick your own apples), don’t expect the pace of life here to change anytime soon.

Cheatham Ashland City | Kingston Springs | Pegram

I

f you’re looking for peaceful country living just a stone’s throw from the city, look at Cheatham County. With wooded hillsides, open farmland, and scenic rivers and lakes, the area offers an attractive setting.

The communities of Kingston Springs, Pegram, Pleasant View and Ashland City offer a neighborly feel despite the county’s rapid expansion.

Whether in a suburban or rural setting, residents here have the best of both worlds: a serene environment with easy access to city life and jobs.

Pegram is a great place to raise a family. The town has its own special treasures. Popular places include Finch’s Country Store and Mud Puddle Pottery Studio (which offers pottery workshops and classes).

The county seat of Ashland City sits on the bank of the Cumberland River. The city’s award-winning parks and recreation program earned the Governor’s Environmental Stewardship Award for its conservation efforts involved with the Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail. Under the guidance of Renaissance Ashland City, planners are working to carefully preserve the city’s heritage while embracing the benefits of progress.

hile the office, school and home now share one roof, keeping your house and family safe has never been more important. Thanks to enhanced safety technology, you can better protect against the threats of smoke, fire and carbon monoxide (CO), allowing you to go about your busy lifestyle without skipping a beat. When upgrading your protection, make sure to install alarms with the latest safety enhancements. Alarms should be installed on every level of the home, including in each bedroom and outside every sleeping area.

10-year battery According to the National Fire Protection Association, 60% of fire deaths occur in homes without working smoke alarms and dead batteries cause 25% of smoke alarm failures, making it crucial to regularly check your alarms and replace the batteries. Helping to address this issue, one of the greatest advancements in alarm technology in recent years has been the development of 10-year sealed battery alarms. Offering convenient protection, this enhanced technology eliminates the risk of having an alarm deactivate due to battery removal, making battery replacements and low-battery chirps a thing of the past. Upgrading to 10-year alarms will give you one less thing to worry about.

Combination smoke and CO alarm For ultimate home safety, select a combination smoke and CO alarm for protection from the threats of smoke, fire and CO. Known as the silent killer, CO is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas, making it impossible to detect without an alarm. A variety of smoke and CO alarms, including hardwired, combination and 10-year battery-powered models, are available to meet specific needs and local requirements. With the convenience and simplicity of one device, the combination alarm helps to protect you from three potentially deadly threats.

Voice and location

Middle Tennessee’s guide to new homes and interiors

Alarms with voice and location technology use a loud, pre-recorded human voice that lets you know the type and location of danger when fire or CO is detected. Studies show that children aged 6 to 10 are awakened more readily by voice rather than a beeping alarm, making this technology ideal for homes with young kids. Plus, voice and location alarms, such as the First Alert Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Voice and Location, help save time by identifying where smoke or CO is detected in the home, so you can determine the fastest and safest way out.

At a time when home safety technology has never been smarter, upgrade your level of protection today. For more information about home safety technology enhancements, visit www.firstalert.com.
