Some tips to make the process a little easier to get started
I have done my share of remodeling; usually starting with a sledge hammer and a bottle of Chardonnay, but others may not have the same ease at starting that process. I thought this article gave some good tips at how to break the process down into pieces so that it won't be quite as intimidating. I am happy to give some tips as well, so don't hesitate to ask. Are you planning any remodeling this year?
Personal circumstances generally will lead you to the decision between remodeling the home you’re in or buying a different, more suitable home. Perhaps a career or familial change is creating the need for more space. You may be in a larger home already, and you don’t need the space, or taking care of it has become a burden. You may be on the track of accumulating properties as part of a retirement portfolio.
To help you move you forward with the decision between staying or selling, you should first obtain an understanding of the cost, time, and discomfort involved in the remodel; the second is learning how much you can afford in a new home, taking into consideration your current equity, and how your financial picture may have changed since you last purchased a property.
Here are some reasons you may want to stay in your location and remodel:
Remodeling may be easier than moving to another property.
You may love the location of your property and may not be able to find a better replacement.
You have an established property tax rate you want to keep. There are options to keep you tax rate if you want to scale down and are over 55 years old.
You may be preparing your home for sale.
Before beginning, consider what you are doing to the property:
I’m a construction geek; I can’t help it. Here’s some beautiful concrete work.
Most people won’t appreciate this, but I am posting it anyway. I visited a client at he and his wife’s home the other day to check on the progress of their huge remodel. I’ll post some progress pictures as they go. What struck me today was the beautiful concrete work on this retaining wall.
To fully appreciate it, you really need to see it. If you look closely at the picture, you’ll see that not only is the new retaining wall tall (probably 12 or so feet), so is the one right above it! These walls support a very steep hill and a large two unit building right above! Congratulations Bea and Will on a great project!
Sorry, this is a little late and perhaps you already heard. The Federal (as well as state and local) Government are offering rebates for qualifying home improvements for energy efficiency. Here we are at Dec. 13th, so there isn’t too much time, but if you were thinking of taking on some improvements, such as a new furnace, appliances, or a tankless water heater, there may be time to get part of it paid for.
I’m guessing there will be more in the new year, but if this is the carrot that gets you moving-here it is!
