Do you know how much mortgage you can afford? Are you sure you know? Tom Champion has been in the mortgage business for years, first as a loan originator and now as regional manager in Maryland, Virginia and D.C. for Mortgage Loan Inspection. He thinks people should know that qualifying for a loan isn't the same thing as being able to afford it, even though we're several years past the era of super-lax requirements.

Well when the question arises, who owns a property, then definitely there should be some ways to find that. The most basic way to find who owns a property is to contact a Real Estate Agent. A good Real Estate Agent has all the knowledge about all the lands and properties in his area and beyond, their merits and demerits, their worth or cost, whether the value of that property is going to rise or have a decline, all about its surroundings etc. and of course he is going to charge you a fee which is acceptable as comparison to the services he is providing you.
