If she’s making a $1,000 payment a month in it, then paying off gets that weight off her finances. 

If so, how are they weighted/calculated?

The planning commission seemed to give a LOT of weight to those who spoke so it's important that we have a large turnout when it comes to the city council. 

@Dwayne DilbeckThe fact that you participate in your employer 401k does not have any weight on your eligibility for the Solo 401k.

You can access FHA's handbook here.My own two cents -- the appraiser is still going to give more weight to the closed sales but the active and pending listings at least show where the price trends are headed (up, down, or stable).

I would weight the pros and cons and determine what best helps you reach your goals and manage risk.Pros:-30 year fixed rate mortgage available if <4 units - lowers your risk and helps you predict/manage cash flow when rates are on the rise.  

The handyman demand here is INSANE— everyone worth their weight is booked for weeks.

However, there is a great amount of weight rightly placed on being able to demonstrate experience and success that mirrors a person's ability to execute a proposed development.

They were not made to serve as weight-bearing floor joists for an attic converted to living space.

The ceiling joists will not be strong enough to put additional weight on.
