November is upon us, which means it's time for homeowners to set aside the hour or two it takes to carry out an annual home safety check-up. October & November are widely deemed the appropriate months for attending to this kind of annual exercise—after all, October is Fire Safety Month.
Those who closely monitor Mesa County home loan rates were recently treated to a literary fit of impatience by the Mortgage News Daily—usually one of the most dispassionate of mortgage journals. On Friday, it became more than clear that MND has had it!
