Lake Life is Good Life by Marr/Elliott & Associates

Recently, new lending guidelines are making it easier for single, non-married individuals. The introduction of new lending rules has been a game-changer, offering a more equitable platform for these buyers. These changes are making the dream of homeownership more accessible and fair for single home buyers. Understanding the New Lending Rules Historically, the lending environment has been skewed in favor of married couples or joint borrowers, often leaving single applicants at a disadvantage. The new rules, however, introduce several key changes: Income Consideration : Lenders are now required to consider a wider range of income sources, including part-time jobs, freelance income, and even potential rental income from a portion of the property. This is particularly beneficial for single buyers who may rely on diverse income streams. Debt-to-Income Ratio Flexibility : The revised regulations offer more leniency in the debt-to-income (DTI) ratio. This shift acknowledges that single buyers...

The history of the castle at HaHa Tonka State Park is as fascinating as the landscape itself. The castle, known as the "Stone Ruins," was the dream of a wealthy Kansas City businessman named Robert McClure Snyder. In the early 20th century, Snyder purchased nearly 5,000 acres of land around the Lake of the Ozarks and began constructing his vision of a grand European-style castle. The construction of the castle began in 1905 and involved skilled stonemasons brought over from Europe. The structure was built with locally quarried stone, adding to its authentic charm. Tragically, before the castle could be completed, a fire broke out in 1942, destroying much of the interior and leaving behind the haunting stone ruins we see today. After Snyder's death, the land was eventually acquired by the state of Missouri and established as HaHa Tonka State Park in 1978. The castle ruins became one of the park's main attractions, drawing visitors from far and wide to marvel at its a...
