$1000 Projects

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Archwood Properties

Tax returns should be on their way back to your bank account and while last week we gave some $500 home investments, this week we'll suggest a few $1000 projects that you could put your tax refund towards. 

  • Swap out your old top-loading washing machine for a front-loading high-efficiency Energy Star model.  This will save on both your water and heating bills.

  • If you can put a nice chunk of pocket change towards the principal on your mortgage loan, you can not only pay off your mortgage in less than the loan term, but will save tens of thousands of dollars in interest.

  • Is your home lacking the ambiance of a nice fireplace?  You can invest in an electric ventless fireplace that requires no professional installation.  These units exhaust small amounts of combustion gases inside the home and can run on natural gas, propane, electricity, or flammable gel.

  • Enhance your curb appeal and save money on energy by replacing your old front door with a new energy-efficient one and you are eligible for a tax credit worth 30% of the door.

I agree....so many projects, so little time and/or money.  Plus, as a self-employed person I don't really ever get any tax refunds back.  However, it's still good advice for people who are getting a refund back - or even the people who qualified for the federal home buyer tax incentives.  Great ideas!
