Make It a DIY Weekend! Bozeman Life - 07/27/12 11:20 AM

Project Idea I: Go Vertical
Montana is an area of vast landscape and fields, but if you live here and don’t have that much space to work with, there is still hope! Creative ideas have sprung up all over Bozeman including one of my favorites, vertical gardening. Using materials that are already in place like fences, building sides, or lattices and combining them with planters, old coffee containers, or aluminum cans and you can form a mosaic of naturally vibrant art! Rotate herbs, flowers, and in the winter, evergreen dwarfed trees to always keep your yard—no matter how big—fresh and … (2 comments)

ISSUE: What we need to work on is getting a bigger space.
 
Within the last year this office has gone from two agents and one support staffer to over double that. We now employ three agents and have four support staff members who, when in the office together, get increasingly louder… and louder… and well you guessed it, even louder. The energy and atmosphere is inspirational, but the chaos of action is beginning to be a distraction too.
 
FIX: We have bought a new space. It is a beautifully empty slate. The design theory behind the construction has been … (1 comments)

Inside Information on Low-Income Housing Tax Credit - 07/09/12 08:32 AM
One of the fastest growing segments of the rental housing market is low-income, affordable housing. Since the Tax Reform Act of 1986 there have been government-sponsored tax incentives for the utilization of private equity in the development of low-income rental housing designed for Americans who qualify as “low-income”.

MONTANA LAND PURCHASE: Tips and Advice - 07/06/12 10:51 AM
 Land investment is a unique arena to initiate an investment in. A buyer does not physically see the home, second home, or vacation home that is to be built so the satisfaction is not as tangible as in a home purchase. Here is a checklist to assist you in the purchasing of ‘dirt.’
Documents to be checked in land purchase
The title deed (a legal document proving a person's right to the property). The encumbrance certificate (which proves that the land is not under some sort of legal dispute). The release certificate (in case the land was previously pledged to someone … (2 comments)

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
Summer is a time of travel. Have you ever thought about RENTING YOUR HOME WHILE YOU ARE GONE? I know many people who hire a house-sitter for protection but that is money out of pocket instead of… well money in pocket (the much more preferably of the two if you ask me…).
THE OPTIONS:
There are many options you can take if you decide you are comfortable renting your house out. If you have ever seen The Holiday, you know there is the option of swapping homes with someone in a whole new area. This … (3 comments)
