You have a great paying job in a stable field and can afford the payments on that type of loan even when the unexpected happen.

Louis County, is currently reviewing an ordinance that would prohibit short-term property rentals because, according to the Crestwood City Administrator, the City wants “stable residents living in the community, adding to the quality of life here, walking on the streets, obviously there’s a safety concern there, there’s a property value concern.”
