Special Information on Real Estate at the Lake  The Lake of the Ozarks economy has been on a tremendous growth trend over the last decade. About 50% of the new condominium and homeowners are second homeowners. Because they are only part time residents, our real estate tax base is low. To give you an example, depending on the area, the real estate taxes here at the Lake are approximately $800-$1200 per year for a home with a purchase price of $100,000. The tax base is low and the area townships and government still thrive due to the second homeowners tax contributions, without the maintenance of a full time resident. Request our Free Lake of the Ozarks Relocation Package. It's packed full of useful and important information about Lake Ozark, Osage Beach, Eldon, Camdenton, Sunrise Beach, Laurie, Macks Creek, Montreal, Linn Creek, Rocky Mount, Four Seasons, Porto Cima, and The Villages.

Financing Your Home >Credit Card Mania
Most people know that a checkered credit history can disqualify you for a home loan, and maxed-out credit cards can do the same thing. But what most people don't know is that merely having a large number of credit cards, even with low balances and a history of timely payments, can disqualify you for a home mortgage loan just as quickly.
According to credit experts, having a number of credit cards can be just as detrimental to the granting of further credit as a history of late payments. Lenders look at it this way: If you have ten credit cards, each with a limit of $5,000, that means you have the potential to run up $50,000 in debt virtually any time you choose. That mere possibility makes you a greater risk, from their point of view.
The moral of the story? If you are planning to apply for a home loan in the future, keep only those credit cards you actually need to use and cancel the others.
