Hedges Family Expands Farm Land Amid Garden Bloom
Mr and Mrs Hedges and their boys report strong garden yields with tomatoes and cut bouquets from oats field and back garden. The family recently bought an extra acre on each side of the cottage to ensure ongoing summertime isolation and space for visitors.
Well Built Home Is Believed Best Risk
FHA officials explain mortgage insurance depends on property quality. A full 90 percent mortgage can be insured if the home is sound, well built, properly planned, and located in a lasting residential neighborhood. Even a small $2500 to $3000 dwelling may earn the high rating if it meets standards.
