Query:
Hello. My name is Erik Martin with The Mortgage Reports website
(www.themortgagereports.com). I'm looking to interview real
estate attorneys, lending experts, financial professionals, tax
experts, real estate faculty, and other experts for the
following story: Does my debt-to-income (DTI) ratio include
taxes and insurance? This article will examine the extent to
which DTI includes taxes and insurance, how DTI is calculated,
how it affects your mortgage, and other angles. Note that I can
only accept full-sentence written responses (which I can use as
quotes) for this article. My deadline for written answers to
these questions is noon central, Monday, December 21, 2020.
QUESTIONS: 1. Does DTI include taxes and insurance? Please
explain with details and indicate how the cost of taxes and
insurance will affect how much you can borrow. 2. What's
included in my DTI? Please list everything lenders typically
include in your DTI ratio. 3. Please explain the two kinds of
insurance included in your DTI (homeowners and mortgage
insurance) and why these are included. 4. How is DTI ratio
calculated? Please explain what both the front end and backend
ratios are, and how taxes and homeowners insurance are broken up
into 12 payments to calculate the monthly debt burden. 5. What
DTI ratio do lenders typically want to see? Please list the max
DTIs for major loan programs, explain what the compensating
factors are, and what factors can make up for a higher DTI. 6.
Please briefly explain how the new QM rule did away with the 43%
DTI rule, and how lenders might actually be more flexible in the
future about debt requirements. 7. Please explain overall how
DTI affects different loan programs you qualify for and other
aspects of the home loan. Also, mention any other factors that
affect your ability to qualify for a mortgage (e.g., credit
score, down payment, etc.). 8. Any other thoughts, tips, or
suggestions on this topic? 9. What is your full name, title,
company, city/state location, and email address?

Writing a story: Is Your Breakfast Undermining Your Immune
System? and looking for RD or an MD/DO with a background on
wellness/preventive medicine to weigh in.
1. Please describe in a few sentences the connection between
what we eat and our immune health (this will go in the
introduction, so keep this pretty basic). Please reference at
least one study and include the link to it.
2. Please explain how the standard American breakfast of refined
carbs can actually be detrimental to immune health. Please
reference and link to a study or two if possible. 3. Please
break down specifically how/why eating such a refined, carb-y
meal for breakfast can have this detrimental effect on your
immune system (i.e., walk the reader through a sample bad meal
for breakfast and describe what it does to your body and why).
4. Please share your advice for making your breakfast more
immune health-friendly. What kind of foods should people
include? Are there certain nutrients/vitamins people should be
sure to incorporate? etc. 5. Optional: Is there anything else
important you'd like to share on the link between breakfast
impacting someone's immunity. Is there something to starting
your day with healthy, wholesome foods that you think is a good
way to set yourself up for day-long healthy eating success that
you think opting for, say, the bacon egg and cheese sandwich
derails you from accomplishing?
Requirements:
Answers may be tweaked slightly for grammar/clarity/flow. Will
send link when live if you make the final cut, thanks so much!
