Mortgage Term of the Day:
Your Debt Ratio (also called Debt-to-Income Ratio or DTI) is a key number lenders use to decide if you can afford a mortgage.

💡 It compares how much you owe each month 💸 to how much you earn 🧾.

👉 Lower DTI = better chance of getting approved!
Most lenders like to see a DTI of 43% or less.

Keep your ceiling fans running efficiently with these simple steps:

✅ Dust the blades – Use a microfiber cloth or pillowcase to trap dust.
✅ Check for wobbling – Tighten screws and balance the blades if needed.
✅ Reverse the direction – Set to counterclockwise in summer for a cooling breeze, clockwise in winter to circulate warm air.
✅ Clean the motor & housing – Remove dust buildup to keep it running smoothly.
✅ Lubricate if needed – Some older models require occasional oiling for optimal performance.

🏡 A well-maintained fan keeps your home comfortable and energy-efficient!
