Prospective Homeowner? Think Twice Before Buying A New Car

So you find you have managed to scrimp and save some money for a down payment on a house, have paid off your vehicle, and you also have found you have enough surplus monthly income for a new car payment. If you are in this position, and your vehicle can still manage to incur a few thousand more miles consider holding off on the purchase of a new car. You may ask, Why is this advisable? The reason is that most first-time homebuyers, and some veterans, do not know that your new car payment will directly affect your debt-to-income ratio.

Suppose for illustration sake, you had purchased the new car and you contact a loan officer to get pre-qualified for a mortgage loan. You state your desired price and how much you have managed to scrimp and save for the down payment. You provide your income and may even supply pay stubs and W2 forms. The loan officer methodically crunches the numbers (by telephone, in person, or even over the internet). And the loan officer promptly lets you know that you would have qualified for a higher home sales price if you didn't have "that expensive car payment!"

You see, when determining your ability to qualify for a mortgage, in addition to your three-digit credit score a lender looks at what is called your "debt-to-income" ratio. A debt-to-income ratio is the percentage of your gross monthly income (before taxes) that you spend on debt. This will include your monthly housing costs, including principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and homeowner's association fees, if any. It will also include your monthly consumer debt, including credit cards, student loans, installment debt, and of course, car payments. Your debt-to-income ratio is the amount of debt you have in the form of mortgages, car loans, student loans and credit card debt, as compared to your overall income.

You might ask, Why is this number so important? I make a good income and I'm never late on my monthly payments, well only occasionally. What it comes down to is the amount of debt you have to pay on a monthly basis relative to your monthly income. You may bring in a hefty paycheck but have equally hefty debt payments which could be a problem. Or you may make a modest income but have low monthly debt payments. Your ability to qualify for a mortgage loan is unique to your particular financial situation. That's why lenders look at this number just as closely as your FICO score.

To calculate your debt-to-income ratio, add up all of your monthly debt obligations-often called recurring debt-including your mortgage (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance) and home equity loan payments, car loans, student loans, your minimum monthly payments on any credit card debt, and any other recurring loan payments you might have. Do not include expenses such as groceries, utilities and gas. Take this total and divide it by your gross income from all sources. If you want to try your hand at a debt-to-income ratio calculator, go to www.bankrate.com , which has a great online tool to help you figure out your debt-to-income ratio.

Let's say you and your spouse together earn $60,000 per year or $5,000 per month. Your total mortgage payment is $1,100 your car loan totals $400, your minimum credit card payments are $150 and your student loans add up to $100. That equals a recurring debt of $1,750 a month. Divide the $1,750 by $5,000 and you'll find your DTI is 35 percent.

In general, you'll want to keep that number below 36 percent-a threshold that loan officers and credit card issuers often use as a factor when they determine how much they're willing to lend you. If you go higher than the above mentioned number, you may be able to qualify for a loan but usually at higher interest rates and therefore higher monthly payments. The higher your DTI number, the riskier it is for lenders to offer you loans-and the more they'll make you pay for them.

Looking back at our example, suppose you earn $5000 a month and you have a car payment of $400. Using an interest rate of 8.0%, you would qualify for a mortgage loan that was approximately $55,000 less than if you did not have that new car payment. Are you seeing the importance of holding off on that new car?

So, if you have not already bought a new car, and your old one can still take a few thousand more miles, try to qualify for the home first which as an appreciating asset will bring you great tax savings, as well as a place to live in. You can forgo that new car smell for another time!

Place Ads Correctly for Maximum Profit

A large portion of people on the internet use google adsense, yahoo! publisher network or other types of pay per click advertising companies to make a passive income. So - if you are making an income from these types of ads, you need to make sure that they have maximum effect - which means - the right placement, the right format, and the right number.

Placement of Ads The first thing involved, to make sure your ads have that regular visitors, is placing them in the right place.

Now this does depend on the type of website, but in general, it has been found that more people will look at ads that are placed just at the top of the centre of the page. This is because, it has been found that this is where our eyes are automatically drawn to.

On the Google adsense Help Centre, they have drawn up a "heat map", which shows where (in general) you are more likely to have success with your ads. The darker orange is the most successful placement for ads, and the white is the least successful section.

A lot of people with blogs will place the ads in their righthand sidebars. If you look on the map you will see that this is the place that people are least likely to look at. If you are writing a blog, the best place would appear to be just above the post. Although - people have also found as much success by having ads directly beneath the post as well. That way... people finish reading the article, and their eyes automatically carry on to your ads.

Formatting Your AdsIt has been found that people like ads that look similar to the website itself - this is due to becoming "ad blind", and not paying attention to anything that looks like an ad (a bit like muting the ads on TV, our minds tend to "mute" information that may not be important, and after a while we do not see the ads - even if they are of interest to us).

So... this means using the same colour, the same font, and the same text size, will generally get more visitors that ads that are strikingly different. You are not trying to deceive your visitors, into thinking that the ad is a part of the text - you are trying to combat "ad blindness", and show them ads that may actually appeal to them.However. This does not always work. In places like forums, where people are focused on the topic on hand, they do not tend to pay attention to the ads, regardless of whether they look different or the same. Some forums have been rather successful at using completely contrasting colours - so that the ads are "in your face" and stand out. Whether you blend ads, or make them contrasting really depends on your type of website or blog. You need to play around and find what works for you. It can be the difference between a 1% click through rate, and a 10% click through rate - so is certainly worth the work and effort.

Right Number of AdsThe biggest mistake that people make, are placing more ads than necessary on their websites or blogs. Taking google adsense as an example - just because you are allowed to have 3 ads, and an ad block it doesn't mean that you should.

Sometimes if you have more ads than necessary, it will force people to leave your page, because they can not be bothered looking at all of the ads. You will also get paid less per click, with more ads on the 1 page - as they are all creating impressions, and lowering your click through rate.The rule is - keep your ads to the absolute minimum - so that your visitors don't feel like they have just walked into a giant billboard. If you follow these tips, and play around with your own website, you are sure to see an increase in visitors to your ads. The most important thing to take from this post, is that websites (like people) are all different. They attract different visitors, and all contain different information. You need to experiment - just because it works most of the time, it doesn't mean it is the best for your website. If people didn't experiment in this world - we'd still be cooking over a flame....Shirlene MooreIf You Want to Make Money Online Start Reading the If Ya Want To Make Money Working from Home Blog
