Generally, when a homeowner assigns value to a kitchen or bath remodel project, they consider how it affects their return on investment.
But one aspect that may not be top of mind is what effect the remodel can have on the homeowner’s own lifestyle – now. Remember, as the homeowner it’s important to place value on your personal experience your home, your joy of living.
Marketing: Quantity vs Quality
By Tina Darling
John saved about $4,000 from his soldier pay during World War II. A year after finding a job and saving some more money, he was able to buy a duplex in 1948 for $15,000 with a $10,000 mortgage. There was never much cash flow from the duplex because John used the money to fix it up. After five years, he sold the duplex for $22,000. John had $13,000 left after paying off the mortgage, which had reduced to $9,000 with the help of amortization and some extra money John occasionally added to his monthly payment.
After living in Sarasota for over twenty years I have to admit that I’ve never ventured east to Arcadia. I had heard wonderful stories about the uniqueness of the small town and even knew someone who purchased a bed and breakfast there a few years ago. But being wrapped up in the day-to-day business of life I never took the time to explore. Just the other day I overheard two ladies discussing the wonderful antique shops in Arcadia and it sparked my interest. Not one to pass up the opportunity to shop and always in need of something new I decided the trip was a must.
Speaking of romance is what we are cooking today. The romantic dinner for two in your own home. In my lifetime I had a few of those intoxicating evenings. Nothing is more satisfying than performing (cooking) a meal in front of your loved one or just a friend. It is relatively simple, so get out of the frozen isle and stop calling in the take-out. No Dejourno can match the real you. (I will make sure of that). So let’s begin:
Sarasota is in a prime position to attract potential Canadian home
buyers. A quick, inexpensive flight from Buffalo and they're on the way
to experiencing Sarasota. The allure of Florida sunshine, a struggling
housing market and the Canadian dream of owning a piece of paradise are
truly affordable realities in our present economic state.
