Five Ways to Build Your Home's Curb Appeal - 07/16/11 04:21 PM
 
A sexy front yard can ramp up your home's curb appeal without costing a fortune. If you're planning to sell - or even if you're not - it's a good idea to keep the outside of your home spruced up. Following are five ways to up your yard's sexiness quotient: 1. Think like a drive-by viewer. Your home may tell a very different story when seen from across the street. Is there an attractive transition from road to front porch? Does it feel welcoming?   2. You don't have to splurge on a landscape designer to create a new look … (2 comments)

Buying a Home? Why it Pays to Think Like a Detective - 07/15/11 10:17 PM
You may not need a magnifying glass or a deerstalker hat, but thinking like your favorite fictional detective can give you an edge when looking for your dream home. Sherlock Holmes, for example, would likely advise you to draw conclusions based on what you see. Cracks in the walls could point to foundation problems. Loose caulking around the windows might indicate rot. Squeaky, uneven floors may be harbingers of expensive repairs. It's elementary, as Holmes might say. Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, on the other hand, would recommend you put your brain cells to work. As a savvy homebuyer, you would quickly … (3 comments)

Multi-Unit Properties Offer Stable Income Stream - 07/06/11 06:15 PM
The real estate recession that swept across the United States has created an opportunity for those with the means and desire to invest.
Multi-unit residential buildings typically offer a lower per-unit entry point than traditional single-family homes. 
Each unit offers a long-term income stream for the property owner. 
In addition, more units mean a reduced impact on you when there are vacancies.
When a tenant vacates a single-family home the vacancy rate jumps to 100%.
By comparison, a 10-unit complex shows a vacancy rate of 10% when a single tenant vacates.
Investors can see value in a stable … (1 comments)

9 Ways a Touch of Paint Can Make Your House Shine - 07/01/11 08:46 PM

Selling your home? Then a fresh coat of paint may be the best investment you can make.
Before you head out to the paint store, though, there are some things to think about. For example:
Don’t think you can cover up water damage, a bad renovation or crumbling concrete stairs with a coat of paint. Do play up interesting architectural features of your house with paint. Do take the time to do it properly. Prepare the walls and tape off windows and baseboards with painter’s tape. Do consider having the outside painted. It can add to your home’s curb appeal. … (3 comments)
