You might be surprised about the cost of running a business. 

This is why there can be muted market responses to actual Fed rate hikes, as the central bank often telegraphs its intentions ahead of time, to the point where the change is fully expected/estimated and thus “priced in” ahead of time.Key Economic Data Releases that Move Mortgage RatesHere are the key economic data releases that most affect Treasury yields and mortgage rates; understand these and plug them into your calendar, and you will be a mortgage rate magician in no time.Consumer Price Index (CPI)For even casual interest rate watchers, it should come as no surprise that the monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) release is key to interest rate movements.

Still awaiting a response from the current situation but the previous one, Zillow indicated to me they thought the documents had been doctored by the tenant and they never received payment.I was very surprised this tenant would be trying to pull a fast one like this.
