So You Wanna Raise Urban Chickens. Believe it or not, this is coming up more and more often when Buyers give their Realtors their list of search criteria. As it just so happens, I raise urban chickens. For 9 months now. So I would like to offer some common sense advice on How To Raise Urban Chickens and still be on speaking terms with your neighbors. Research, research, research. If you've never stepped foot out of the city, do not bring chickens home without doing a lot of research. Read everything you can get your hands on. Start with www.BackyardChickens.com. If you read, read, read and are still interested, then proceed ... slowly. Call your local health department and zoning commission to see if you are ALLOWED to have urban chickens. If you are told NO, don't despair. My daughter-...

    Price Trends - Sold vs. Listed   Understand the difference between "listing prices" (what sellers are asking for) and "sold prices" (what buyers are willing to pay). By comparing these price trends, you'll have a good idea of where the market is heading. The median listing and sold property prices are calculated based on the market activity each month. Some sales are not immediately available from public records. As they become available, the data are updated.

Safety for Children: A Homebuyer's Guide to Kids' Rooms and Play Areas Children alter how families look at homes during the home buying process. A family with children has to consider extra bedrooms, extra bathrooms, and safe places for children to learn and play. Indoor and outdoor recreation should be fun and comfortable, while safety should always remain the highest priority. Kids' Rooms    Kids' rooms should be large enough for children to grow in. A tiny room may work for a 6-year-old, but could be terribly cramped for a teenager. Kid's rooms should include the following:    Room to grow    Accessibility    Storage space    A safe exit for emergencies      Families generally want kids' rooms on the same level of the house as the master bedroom. While a teenager might accept, or eve...

Some Day A Chicken Will Be Able To Cross The Road And Not Be Asked Why. Just one of the many poultry sayings I've encountereed lately, as my winter "project" this year involves a flock of chickens. Yes, Chickens. Urban Chickens to be exact. Lo and behold, where I live has no regulations in regards to chickens. Except one ... don't be a nuisance. In chickenese that means no loud noises (cock a doodle doos), no nasty smell, and pretty much don't annoy the neighbors. Our property is pretty much perfect for this project. Very private, wooded, neighbors are not too close, even though we smack dab in the middle of the city. The coop doesn't even look like a real coop. More like a kids playhouse. And supposedly the chicks are all females, but only time will tell when it comes to that little ca...

When getting ready to sell your home you probably look on the internet to get an idea of what price your home should sell at.  With the internet today you can do this easily and quickly--no problem! After you get an idea of what you will sell your home for you start the process of selecting a Realtor to market your home.  There are loads of web sites to complete that task.  My suggestion is that you look at Market Leader before selecting your real estate agent.  Market Leader has so much to offer buyers and sellers wherever you live.  Just log onto http://marketleader.com , enter your information, and a qualified real estate agent will contact you and work with you and your needs.

             When utilized wisely as part of a diverse portfolio, real estate investment can be the best move for most Americans to build wealth and subsidize their incomes in retirement. Between passive cash flow, appreciation as a hedge against inflation, and depreciation to offset taxes, it is incredibly attractive. However, there are a few rules which must be followed: 1. Define Your Goals Before acquiring any property, ensure that you have defined your financial and personal goals and that your investment decisions are aligned with them. 2. Is Your Home the Worst Investment You can Make? For many, purchasing a home can create forced savings and eventually become the best investment they ever make. However, your own residence and home equity should never be something to gamble with....

            Before committing to homeownership between parents and children, be aware that Medicaid qualification can be jeopardized when parents sign on a new mortgage. Buying a home with an elderly parent might make sense if you're sure they don't or won't qualify for Medicaid, or if they have more than enough money set aside for unexpected long-term care needs. If your elderly parent may need Medicaid later in life, it's important to research what impact homeownership may have on future assistance. Rules vary from state to state, but there are situations in which a parent's home can be taken by the Medicaid estate recovery program. If your parent's name is on the deed and he or she goes into long-term care, you may lose part of your investment or your parent may lose their Medicaid b...
