investment property: Warm Weather To-Do List - 06/24/08 11:02 AM
As it gets warmer outside, make sure that your home's expenses don't make you hot under the collar. Here are our top ideas for this month:
1. If you live in a humid climate, and there are areas of your home that aren't air-conditioned, make sure that you have a dehumidifier installed in those areas, and that it is working properly.

investment property: South Carolina Wants Teachers! - 06/23/08 12:03 PM
Everyone agrees that South Carolina needs more teachers, but now the state is doing what it can to lure new teachers here with generous housing assistance.
The state Housing Authority is making $20 million available for home loans to new teachers. This works out to be approximately 175 new loans (i.e., new teachers) this year, which will feature a 5.9% interest rate and up to $7,000 in down payment assistance (including the possibility of not having to pay the down payment back).

investment property: Why Real Estate is like Jennifer Lopez... (or Focus on What's Really Important) - 02/18/08 04:23 PM
Thanks to Mark Koestner of www.quitworksomeday.com, on whose blog post this is based. 
In the national media these days, real estate is like Jennifer Lopez. It's all about the bottom. In the Wall Street Journal Blog "Real Time Economics,"James Glassman, economist at J.P. Morgan Chase, argues most of the necessary decline in home prices has already occurred. "Given the present trends in income and house prices, real estate excesses of the past five years will have vanished by spring 2008," he argues in a new report. Thanks, James. Spring of '08 you say? Right around the corner. Great, but ... "There is … (2 comments)
