Unfortunately, the remodeling industry is not immune to some of the scams that pop up every so often. However, if you use good sense and take some basic precautions you can avoid becoming a victim of these deceptions.

The cost of financing a home purchase in the priciest areas in the US just got more expensive.

Oh and by the way, jumbos loans of more than $417,000 are capped by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

As an example, a $600,000 mortgage would be $4,403, compared to $3,942.
