Madison In Top Ten Best College Towns

State Street in Madison, WI, makes both a symbolic and literal connection between a university and its city. Set in the city's historic downtown, on an isthmus between two scenic lakes, the iconic street is lined with shops, galleries and restaurants, and links the University of Wisconsin to State Capitol Square. Students, residents, and tourists frequent this pathway of commerce and entertainment. State Street gives visitors a taste of the city's cultural and epicurean offerings, which include craft beer pubs, music venues, art galleries and shopping centers. Madison's high concentration of independent restaurants helped it land on our Top 10 Foodie Cities 2013 list.
University officials strongly support a tradition known as the Wisconsin Idea, which stems from a political philosophy that education should improve people's lives beyond the classroom, and have embarked on a mission to incorporate community partnerships into course work. The university's Morgridge Center for Public Service connects students with Madison residents through community-service opportunities, such as mentoring and tutoring programs with local schools and children's groups. The university gives low income adults the opportunity to take a six-credit humanities courses free of charge, and UW students have helped collect and distribute farm crops to at-risk families across the state.
Natural attractions in and around the city help residents stay active. More than 20 miles of trails in the 1,260-acre UW-Madison Arboretum are nearly always open for exploration. Five nearby lakes provide opportunities to fish, swim and boat. During winter months, ice skating and sledding are popular activities in town, while people can go snowmobiling and snow skiing a short drive away.

7 Crucial Facts about FHA Loans

RIS Media,  by Marcie Geffner, March 3, 2014 An FHA loan is a mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration, a government agency within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Borrowers with FHA loans pay for mortgage insurance, which protects the lender from a loss if the borrower defaults on the loan. Because of that insurance, lenders can, and do, offer FHA loans at attractive interest rates and with less stringent and more flexible qualification requirements. 1. Less-than-perfect credit is ok: The FHA doesn't mandate a minimum credit score. Instead, each borrower's creditworthiness is considered in context. Some leeway is allowed. Lenders can, however, overlay their own requirements on top of the FHA's guidelines. Some lenders might require a minimum credit score. 2. Minimum down payment is 3.5 percent: That is a fraction of the percentage typically required on most other loans. 3. Closing costs may be covered: The FHA allows home sell

Top Trends In Real Estate For 2014

RIS Media, Top Trends in Real Estate for 2014,  by Jeff Collins, January 11, 2014 Economists predict 2014 will see more buyers putting roofs over their heads, home prices are expected to stabilize, and homebuilding will be more frenetic. "The housing market has staged a spectacular recovery over the past year," Cal State Fullerton economists Anil Puri and Mira Farka wrote in their 2014 economic forecast. "More recent data, however, point to a softening of these trends." 1. More Inventory: You can expect to see more people putting their homes up for sale this year, as rising prices bring new equity to underwater homeowners. Other property owners also may take the opportunity to get their lives off hold and take advantage of higher home prices. "I'm hoping that, since interest rates are still low, it's a better opportunity not only to sell, but to rebuy," said homeowner Donald McCray. Another factor: New home construction is expected to incre
