Home made project-you started it, you finished it the right way, not your way
With the new $6,500 tax credit for existing home owners till 4/30/10, I can foresee more home owners are more ready and willing to put their home on the market.  Is your house ready for sale, or you need to do some projects first?
Do you like to watch "Weekend Warriors" on HGTV, doesn't it bring the inner contractor side out of you?  All the demolition, design, vision, color matching......just can't wait to start that project you have been putting away, can you?  There is nothing to it, it only takes those home owners one or some weekend/s from start to finish, I can do that.  Or is it really?
Unless you are absolutely 100% sure what you are doing, and how to do it.  When unexpected problems come up, can you solve it yourself?  Taking on a big project requires persistence and serious planning.  If you started it, you need to finish it the right way, not your way, don't leave it half done.  That's what some sellers think when it comes to selling their home:
I can knock it off from the sales price and let the buyer to finish it : most of the buyers do not want to pick up any ... more
