Four Components to Plumbing: Keep Your Water Running

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0400

If thereâs one thing you undoubtedly need in your home, itâs a working plumbing system. That system, those pipes, are what get you through the day from your trips to the bathroom, to making dinner, to showering, to keeping your basement clear of excess fluids. If you develop a leak, everything can go wrong, and youâll suddenly realize what itâs like to try to live without water - unbearable. Therefore, itâs important to pay attention to the many facets of your plumbing: the drains, the drains, the faucets, the toilets and the sump pumps. Your drains are a vitally important part of your plumbing. You want to keep them clear so that what needs to and should go down them goes down. This means you must keep what shouldnât go down away from them. Avoid tossing in to your drain too much food or grease from the kitchen and too much hair or soap from the bathroom. Periodically clean the drain. Pop out the stopper and remove all debris from it, the drain body and the tailpiece. And donât just focus on the drains in your sinks - the bathtub needs to be cleaned, as well.** End Summary**

Indoor Climate Control: Optimal Temperature and Humidity

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0400

The rising temperatures of the Earth, thanks to global warming, and the increased pollution in our atmosphere have sparked considerable concern and generated numerous discussions on how we can maintain the current temperatures, if not lower them, and how we can reduce the amount of toxins floating through our air. Both are serious concerns, but they arenât the only atmospheric concerns you should have. You shouldnât focus solely on the temperature and purity of the world outside your house but also of the one within your walls, for the climate inside your home is just as important to your daily living and physical wellbeing. Maintaining proper temperature and humidity levels in your home requires proper insulation, ventilation and exposure, as well as efficiently functioning heating, cooling and humidifying systems. The first step in ensuring that you have these is hiring a qualified heating and cooling contractor to come inspect your systems at least once a year. In between inspections you should take on some of the maintenance yourself, making sure the thermostat works properly, checking the sealing around ducts and keeping the indoors as clean and comfortable as possible.** End Summary**

Investing with An LLC: Rocky Times for Limited Liability Companies

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Once upon a time, real estate investors felt comfortable putting their holdings in limited liability companies (LLC). Tax strategist Diane Kennedy is warning, however, that LLCs may no longer be the way to go when it comes to investment property mortgages underwritten by the two big mortgage buying companies in town: Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. It seems that Freddie Mac, probably followed closely by his sister Fannie Mae, has announced a change in the rules on refinancing property that has been held by an LLC within the first half of 2008. The rule change, announced on April 22, 2008, also stated that Freddie Mac will be restricting the number of one family to four family buildings an investment holding company can own, lowering the number from ten to four. Freddie Mac states the reason for these changes, particularly the refinance rule change, as due to continued credit deterioration and declining home values in many areas of the country.. The rule changes become effective August 1, 2008. This has created two camps of strongly held feeling among real estate investors.** End Summary**

Ready to Flip? Texas Cities Among Best Turn Around Spots

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0400

HomeVestors of America (HVA) â a company that purchases houses below market price, rehabilitates, then sells them for a profit â lists four cities in Texas among its choices for the best opportunities in this field. Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth, and San Antonio were named among other worthy cities such as Denver, Colorado, and Kansas City, Kansas, on its âTop 10 Cities for Real Estate Investingâ list for the second quarter of 2008. Dallas ranked number one in the country, followed closely by number two Houston. Fort Worth came in at number five and San Antonio ranked in the number six spot. The rankings are based on HVA's own franchisee data and reflects how many homes the franchisees were able to purchase in April, May, and June of 2008. The business is becoming popular, unfortunately, as homeowners find themselves in financial hardship brought on by divorce, layoffs, serious illness or threatened with foreclosure and turn to a company such as HVA for relief. Demand for services such as HVA has risen to record heights. âAnd,â says president and CEO of HVA, John Hayes, âdespite changes in the market, real estate investing continues to grow.** End Summary**

Maintaining Your Tile Floors: The Ultimate in Easy Cleanup

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0400

What is the one thing you hate most about your wood and carpet flooring? Is it the cleanup? I would think so. With wood, you have to be extremely careful. You donât want to use water, as that could warp the floor. You need to use a wood polish, mopping with it as you would linoleum flooring. Once youâve polished it, you must be doubly careful that no one steps on it, or the finishing could be ruined and brown coloring tromped through the remainder of the house. With carpet, you vacuum regularly, hoping that itâs enough, but knowing that itâs not. Every few months you have to shampoo the rugs as well, and that is a task. You must either clear out all of the furniture or prop it up on little blocks. Then you shampoo. Then you wait. When it is finally dry, you feel that youâve accomplished . . . nothing, at least nothing of note. It is a frustrating and taxing process. Fortunately, when you have ceramic tile, granite or marble flooring, the same is not true. All three materials are relatively easy to take care of and up keep.** End Summary**

Form and Function: Making the Most of Your Kitchen

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0400

The kitchen is the center of your home, perhaps not in physical location but certainly in spirit. It is where the majority of activity takes place - where you prepare meals, where you eat them, where you hold important discussions, where you congregate as a family and where you begin and end your days. Therefore, you want your kitchen to look as important as it is. To do that, you have to put thought and proper consideration into the design and model of the room, and make sure that keep it up to date, whether that means making minor cosmetic changes or refurbishing the entire space. Should you be forced to do the latter, you may have some financial hesitations; new cabinetry and countertops are not small expenses and will take a chunk out of your wallet, but in the end they will add to it, as well. After all, remodeling your kitchen is one of the best investments you could make.** End Summary**

Remodeling Secrets: Adding Value with Tile

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0400

If you want to add true value to your home, in terms of what an outside party will pay for it, you have to think outside of the box. You canât simply throw on a fresh coat of paint, vacuum the rug and hope all is well. That will accomplish nothing but a few hours of work and a few weeks of not getting the price you had hoped. You have to make changes - additions - updating the house to meet current trends and satisfy the needs of the customer, who in this case is the homebuyer. One of your best options is ceramic tile. For years, ceramic tile has been associated with restaurants, hotels and other commercial establishments. It was what you expected to see in an Italian cafÃ© or French bistro, but not what you would anticipate in someoneâs home. However, that has all changed. No longer are designers limited to linoleum, wood or carpet when installing flooring and even walls. Personal kitchens, bathrooms and other areas are bedecked in tile of all styles, colors and types. The versatility of tile - the fact that it comes in so many varieties, adds to the popularity of it.** End Summary**

Home Financing 101: Making Sense of Dollars and Cents

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0400

You have to take a lot of things into consideration when choosing a new home like: is it in the right neighborhood, the right school district; is the house large enough or too large; will it still suit your family in five and ten years; does it have an adequate backyard; is it pet friendly; and, perhaps most importantly, can you afford it? Cost is one of the biggest deciding factors in purchasing a new house, and while there are mortgages available, you have to be cautious when obtaining one. You have to get one that will not only enable you to buy the property but also keep you within budget. Therefore, you must approach obtaining a loan with an understanding of what you can and cannot afford to do. The first step is determining how much you can spend. Your monthly housing costs from insurance to interest to principal should be no more than 28 percent of your income. So, multiply your net income by 28 percent and youâll get the number youâre looking for.** End Summary**

The Finishing Touch: Flat, Satin, Eggshell, Glosses, and Other Finishes

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400

When you start to tackle the walls in your foyer, dining room, bedroom, hallway and kitchen, as well as the wood on your banisters, trimmings and windows, youâll find that your options donât simply run to color. Yes, color is an important part of your decision. You donât want to choose something that will close off the room, spread it out too much, make it appear cramped or make it seem huge and un-furnishable. But itâs not the only decision. You also want to select a finish that will make your walls shine (or not depending on the scenario), and that entails considering the location and the care you will give each wall, ceiling and surface coated with a healthy dollop of paint. Your first option for a finish is a flat finish. A flat finish is just that, flat. Thereâs no extra frills, no particular shine and no extra work. You apply the finish, protect the paint and you are done with the walls.** End Summary**

When and Why to Get Your Home Inspected by a Pro

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400

You want to have your home inspected so that you know what may or may not need to be fixed immediately after you buy it. You want to know if you are going to need to install new plumbing, new wiring or new appliances. You want to know if the chimney is swaying precariously or if thatâs simply your over active imagination. You want to have an inspection because you want to know whatâs wrong, but thatâs not the only reason. A home inspection will tell you if you are paying too much for the house or just enough. If the inspector walks through and finds a hundred little things wrong, you will know that you need to ask for a lower asking price. You donât need to pay an exorbitant amount of money upfront and then more after youâve signed the papers. On the other hand, if he finds few problems, you will be assured that youâve gotten a solid deal and do not have to worry about being ripped off by the sellers. You are paying what you should for what you are receiving.** End Summary**

Caring for Trees: Watering, Feeding, and Pruning for Success

Sat, 30 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Whatâs the one thing that makes a yard? Itâs not size; itâs not grass; itâs not flowers, garden gnomes, walkways or outdoor accessories. Itâs trees. Everyone loves trees; everyone wants trees. It doesnât matter where you live, or if you already have a million, accumulating more shade givers in your front and back yard is an admirable and common goal. But what some people forget is that itâs not just buying and planting the trees that creates a veritable forest around your home; itâs also caring for them - watering, fertilizing and pruning the trees - that keeps your hard lush, green and healthy. The first step is watering the trees. You donât want to over-water, nor do you want to under-water. You have to find the perfect balance between drought and soaking. If you have young trees, that balance will involve more frequent watering than if you have older trees. Older trees only require watering during extremely hot periods. During those times, they will require a deep, thorough watering at least once a week, but when it is cooler if not damp, they need nothing but nature.** End Summary**

Water in the Home: How to Find, Fix, and Clean Water Damage

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Arg! There are few disasters that can occur in the home that are more heinous and hard to deal with than water damage. It can sneak up on you or hit you suddenly. No matter how it strikes, it's a tough one to clean up after and the damage can be subtle and long lasting. It's not always obvious when water damage has occurred because often the source of the damage is a broken or leaky pipe behind the drywall or under the concrete slab of your house. Leaking pipes take a long time to show up, especially if the leak is slow and, by the time water spots or sagging ceiling tiles start to show, the damage can be extensive. Another source of water damage, a clog in the drainage system, can manifest itself suddenly in most cases. The resulting backed up toilet, sink, or bathtub drain is easy to spot and easy to rectify, usually. A third kind is a failure of a major appliance â the dishwasher, washing machine, or refrigerator â and the resulting damage can also be hidden for some time.** End Summary**

How to Handle Electricity and When to Call in the Pros

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400

There is a reason you call the electrician every time something goes wrong with your electricity - not many people, you included, like playing around with wires. There are too many opportunities to electrocute yourself, start a small fire or do similar damage to you and everyone around you. However, you donât want to be too hasty in calling for help, particularly since each visit comes with a bill that, in this economy, isnât always something you can afford. Therefore it is important you take proper precaution and continue to monitor the electricity running through your house. When you attempt to fix something yourself, be even more careful, for that is when electricity is most dangerous Start by making sure all safety measures are in place before going anywhere near the offending electrical unit. That means turning everything off - leaving anything on dramatically increases your risk of electrocution. And just to be on the safe side, put a small note near the circuit breaker or outlet explaining why the equipment has been shut off. This way no one will turn it back on and unwittingly endanger your life.** End Summary**

Lead Based Paint Dangers: Getting the Lead Out

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400

As early as 1940, paint manufacturers began to understand the dangers of lead in paint and voluntarily removed it from their products. Those who didnât do so by choice did so by law when in 1978 the government banned lead from paint products. It would be nice to assume then that the dangers of lead paint are gone - with forty years behind us, there shouldnât be any more worry that a coat of color could poison us or our children, but it still very well could. Lead was removed from the manufacturing process in 1978. That did not immediately remove it from the products lining the shelves in stores nor did it take it from the walls that had already been painted. Older homes, particularly those in poorer or previously poorer areas, are very likely to have lead paint somewhere on their walls. This poses a danger to your family, as lead has been proven to cause developmental delays and lead poisoning, particularly in children. They have the most vulnerable bodies and are the most likely to nibble at a chip of paint or put something in their mouth they shouldnât.** End Summary**

Flooring Options for Complete Enjoyment: Designing with Tile

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400

In todayâs design world, your options extend far beyond wood or carpet flooring. In fact, very few people have constrained themselves to either or, or both, throughout their entire home. There is nearly always one room, or several, that has a different variation of flooring, that has ceramic tile, marble or granite. Often it is the kitchen or bathroom that will have this flooring, but you shouldnât feel limited to those rooms. You can put tile wherever you like. It is relatively versatile, easy to take care of and comes in so many styles you can easily match it to the walls, pre-existing furniture or your favorite color scheme. Use restaurants, hotels and other commercial establishments as inspiration - they put tile everywhere, using it to liven up small and large spaces, and relying on it as an easy way to maintain a clean building. When selecting tile, keep in mind that you will be spending slightly more than you would for other flooring. So itâs important that you get it right the first time. You cannot afford to install an entire floor, decide you hate it and redo it.** End Summary**

Vacant Homes Are High Risk for Insurance Coverage

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Ever since there have been kids and empty houses, there has been the potential for temptation and disaster. Kids like adventure and what's more adventuresome than an empty house and yard? For this reason, it's best to keep someone resident in a home that's on the market, if at all possible. Failing that, the homeowner would do well to examine his or her insurance policy to determine whether or not the house for sale is covered and, if so, for how long. As the national inventory of houses for sale rises, it becomes more difficult to sell a house quickly, and the number of vacant homes subsequently rises.. Some of this is caused by the rise in foreclosures and repossessions that has plagued the real estate market. Some are simply abandoned when the owners find they can't make the mortgage payment and think running is easier than dealing with foreclosure. Whatever the cause, insurance companies are reluctant to cover vacant homes for an extended period of time, and not just for the kid invasion factor.** End Summary**

Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, How Does Your Garden Grow?

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Youâve dreamt of a giant lawn with lush, green grass for years, ever since you moved from your parentsâ home to the small apartment that occupied your twenties. Now that you have a house, you have a yard. Thereâs only one problem: itâs not the verdant landscape you imagined, or at least, it wonât be for long. Thatâs because a lawn takes work, maintenance and care to remain lively and beautiful. You canât simply wish for green grass or blame Mother Nature when it turns brown; you have to create it. And that starts from the ground up. Soil is the most important aspect of your lawn. If it is healthy, the grass will be healthy. If the grass is healthy, so is everything else. The first thing you want to do is aerate the soil at least once a year. Compacted soil will allow for nothing to grow and few if any biological processes to take place. Once aerated you want to mulch (every time you mow) and consider applying a thin layer of organic material, like compost, every spring. Itâs important that you use organic materials, as you want to keep your soil as natural as possible.** End Summary**

Do You Really Want a Mortgage at Retirement Age: It Can Be A Bad Idea

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400

When youâve reached retirement age and are ready to kick back and take life easy, it's not a good move to put yourself in the stressful position of having to pay a mortgage. Whether it's for a new house or second vacation home, if you have the savings, many financial advisors say pay cash. Mortgages increase risk at a time when it should be avoided. As you move retirement accounts from high-risk stocks to low-risk money market funds as you get closer to retirement day, it's just as prudent to avoid the financial risk of a mortgage at this time. That said, there are some cases in which it might be advantageous to the retiree to assume a mortgage. The tax benefits come to mind first. Taking advantage of this may require some fancy paperwork with your retirement accounts, though. One advisor has recommended purchasing a higher-priced home and using the income from your IRA to pay down the mortgage. The individual approaching retirement age, either sells his or her current home or purchases a second home â one that is more valuable than the current home.** End Summary**

Flood Risk Is the Number One Natural Disaster: Can It Happen to You?

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Regular homeownerâs insurance doesn't cover damage due to flooding which is a travesty because flooding is the number one natural disaster in the United States. While not everyone lives in a flood plain, everyone lives in a flood zone and any property in the United States is susceptible to flooding. It's just a matter of level of risk. Flood insurance is mandated for those whose homes are built on a flood plain because these areas carry a high level risk for flooding. Much of Austin can be at risk for flooding. The Cedar River, the Little Cedar River, and the Upper Iowa River have been known to jump their banks during heavy rainfall. Regardless of your level of risk, though, itâs a good idea to become savvy about the risks of flood damage and insurance coverage in your area. Austin is located right in the middle of âFlash Flood Alleyâ, in Central Texas. This means sudden flooding may occur after a heavy rainfall. The many small creeks and rivers running throughout the Austin region can suddenly overflow their banks and cause havoc.** End Summary**

Extended Coverage? Get a Residential Service Contract!

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400

From the outside it may seem pristine, with a perfectly manicured walkway, lush green lawn, symmetrical yet inviting garden beds and blossoming young trees. From the inside, the same will appear to be true. The walls will be perfectly painted. The floors will be freshly scrubbed. You wonât find a spec of dust on a single appliance, in any given nook or hidden beneath a rug. It will be a shining example of the perfect home. And then youâll move in. Things you didnât realize were there will rear their ugly heads, in the form of a mechanical breakdown or trembling body. The house will go from a perfect example of the perfect home to the perfect example of a dilapidated structure. Youâll be scrambling to make repairs, signing checks and handing over credit cards at every turn. Youâll find yourself paying more after the purchase than you did during the purchase, unless, of course, you thought to purchase a home residential service contract. Residential service contracts are essentially insurance policies on your new house.** End Summary**

A Decent Tax Deduction: Getting to the Point on Mortgage Points

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Points are everywhere. Pencils have points; pins have points. Conversations have points. Points can be earned; points can be lost. Points can be counted; points can be made. And in real estate, points can be paid. In real estate, points are your mortgageâs interest, your property taxes and your loan fees. They are the little things that push the cost of financing your new home, along with closing costs and down payments, up ever so slightly. They could be what makes you unable to afford the house of your dreams. They can be an utter nuisance, something you have no desire to focus on, as they are another slash in your checkbook, and another blow to your steadily decreasing account. At least, thatâs what they may seem like when you first encounter them, but thatâs not all theyâre cracked up to be. Points are also tax deductible. In Austin and the United States as a whole, points are tax deductible - 100 percent in the year you pay them. And generally, a point is equal to one percent of your mortgage.** End Summary**

Maintaining Your Four Walls: Repairing Dents and Cracks in Drywall and Plaster

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Your walls are what hold your home together. They are the all-important connection between the roof and the ground. Without them, you would have no house, no roof over your head and no place to hang your hat. You need your walls, which means you need them to be well maintained, and that can take a little bit of work. Over time your house starts to settle. It is not necessarily a sign that you have a problem with your house, but more a sign that the foundation beneath has shifted ever so slightly. As it does, cracks and dents may appear. They might be large cracks that immediately grab your attention and beg for repair, or hairline cracks that you only notice after a cold snap or heat wave. Either way, you will want to get rid of them as soon as possible, as any crack - big or small - could give way to an even larger one and larger one after that. If you donât stop the problem in its tracks, you wonât be able to stop the crack and your walls will be in disarray.** End Summary**

Like It or Not, Buyers Judge a House by Its Appearance

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400

When you went in search of your new home, did you even briefly consider the structures that were dirty on the inside or out? If paint was chipping, rugs were stained or wood chipped, did you look twice at the asking price or turn around in search of a home with more upkeep, more shine and more polish? If you say that the appearance of the home didnât phase you at all, youâre lying. The look of a building is often the final tipping point for an interested buyer. If it looks rundown and unloved, people will think there is no reason to consider it, let alone purchase and revitalize it. If it appears to be falling down, it will appear to be worthless. You will never sell your home and move to the pretty, clean one you discovered in the neighborhood you are moving to. Therefore, it is important from the moment you move in to the moment you relocate that you maintain the appearance of your house. Begin by keeping the paint fresh and clean. Do not let it chip and fade into a disgusting example of neglect. Give it life by reapplying paint every few years.** End Summary**

Real Estate Investing Strategy 101: Location, Pricing, and Selling

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Investing in real estate is not something that a person just does on the spur of the moment. This is a well thought out and discussed matter that is put into action over a period of time. Well that is the way that it should be. The fact of the matter is that half of the people that get involved in real estate investments have no idea what they are doing. Instead they have found a cheap property and hope to make a profit. While it is possible to turn a profit with nothing more than dumb luck and being in the right place at the right time, the true real estate investor will leave little to luck. They will have a real estate investment strategy. The real estate investment strategy is something that is vital to success in the market. Real Estate is highly volatile and fortunes can turn at a momentâs notice. But the savvy investor can weather the storm and ensure that profits are made with each transaction. The winning real estate strategy will have several components. It should include, at the very least, the following with minor changes made along the way.** End Summary**
