3 Popular Types of Hardwood Floors

Wood floors are in high-demand among home buyers. In fact, 90 percent of real estate agents say that homes with hardwood floors are easier to sell, and 90 percent also say that homes with hardwood flooring tend to sell for up to 10 percent more than homes that don’t have it, according to the National Wood Flooring Association.

There are many hardwood flooring options. Carlisle Wide Plank Floors identifies the following three wood species and stains that they say will likely remain on the top of home buyers’ must-have list.

Photo credit: Carlisle Wide Plank Floors

Walnut, prefinished with an amber matte:“Walnut is one of the most attractive yet resilient woods available. Walnut has rich, chocolate hues, surprising auburn undertones, and complex grain patterns — making for a spectacular floor with or without a stain.”

Photo credit: Carlisle Wide Plank Floors

Birch, prefinished with an amber matte:“Birch is a unique floor prized for its intriguing combination of color tones and varying grain patterns. The unique design is created by the combination of creamy white sap wood and heart stock of golden brown – and the natural highlights provide an interesting visual appeal.”

Photo credit: Carlisle Wide Plank Floors

Cherry, refinished with an amber matte: “As cherry ages, its hues will darken a bit more than other hardwoods and will ultimately mature to a rich, burnished auburn color. The subtle flowing grain patterns and inviting warmth make cherry one of the most popular floor choices.”

8 Tips for Beginning real estate investors

2011-12-03T23:43:00.000-06:00

Housing inventory is increasing rapidly all across the country. That signals an excellent opportunity to invest for the savvy Buyer. Real estatehas always been considered a conservative, long term strategy to building wealth. Over the long term real estateappreciates in value. Notice I said “long term” twice. Do not confuse this with anything you see on TV. Quick ‘fixing and flipping’ can gain you short term advances but it can also earn you major losses. Losses include both money andrelationships. That being said, beginning investors should still be careful before committing to being a landlord. Consider some basic principles involved before starting in:

1. Learn all you can about real estate. Before putting your hard earned cash and credit on the line you need to have a fundamental understanding of how real estate works. This is the business of real estate not the emotional high of buying your own home.

2. Real estate is not a “liquid” investment. You cannot expect real estate to sell at a moment’s notice because you have other needs. Markets have cycles and usually you cannot turn over a property in 30 days unless you are willing to sell at a very low price or with flexible terms. Depending on the market it is most often the case that you need to hold on to your investments even during difficult times.

3. How is your cash flow? You need to have enough capital on hand and incoming to cover any short term losses caused by vacancies, increased taxes or unexpected maintenance costs. Create a separate budget for each property that includes expectations of the unexpected.

4. Target properties that will be in demand for the area. On the Seacoast that might be a two bedroom condo unit within walking distance to the beach or downtown. Always ask about the parking situation and can the condo be rented. For a single family home you will want to look into the school district and find a moderately priced home that is at least three bedrooms with preferably 2 baths and a garage located in a quiet neighborhood. When looking at units that cater to college students, ask yourself – is it located near public transportation, groceries and restaurants. You also need to find out how many un-related persons that town allows to live in one unit.

5. Research the location of the property. Find out what is around it not just in it. Investigate the schools, crime rate, Meghan’s Law sites, town/state plans for highway expansions, any vacant land being developed. Drive around the neighborhood and look at the other properties in the area. Are they well maintained? Do they need major repairs to roofs, windows or siding? Are they lawns kept up and neat? Is their pride in ownership showing?

6. Inspect everything. Get professional home inspectors to go over the building from top to bottom. General building, roof, electrical, HVAC, well, septic, radon, mold and pest inspections are crucial. Major repairs can destroy any re-sale profits. Put a portion of your budget aside to maintain your investment.

7. Be ready for renters needs. You need to be available and responsive to any minor repairs. If being a landlord is keeping you from investing, consider hiring a professional property manager to relieve of those problems while still reaping the benefit of property investment.

8. Work with a professional licensed real estate agent that has many years experience in the local area. They can help by knowing the history of the town or neighborhood. Good agents know the trends and where the deal are. You need someone who has completed real estate deals under a variety of circumstances. Savvy and smart are key elements of a good agent.

The biggest thing to keep in mind is that investing in a property is a whole different thing than living in one. Let go of emotion and realize that it is just business and the only thing that matters is your ultimate return on investment. Don’t let any of this scare you from taking your wealth to the next level. Now is the time to get off fence and get going.

THANKSGIVING AND FAITH

2011-11-21T18:39:00.000-06:00

Thanksgiving Of Faith

Although things are not perfect

Because of trial or pain

Continue in thanksgiving

Do not begin to blame

Even when the times are hard

Fierce winds are bound to blow

God is forever able

Hold on to what you know

Imagine life without His love

Joy would cease to be

Keep thanking Him for all the things

Love imparts to thee

Move out of "Camp Complaining"

No weapon that is known

On earth can yield the power

Praise can do alone

Quit looking at the future

Redeem the time at hand

Start every day with worship

To "thank" is a command

Until we see Him coming

Victorious in the sky

We'll run the race with gratitude

Exalting God most high

Yes, there'll be good times and
yes some will be bad, but...

Zion waits in glory...
where none are ever sad!

~ Cindy Blackamore ~

FROM: Ingrid Fonseca and Family

Happy Thanksgiving and Have a VERY BLESSED DAY!!!

Art of Home Negotiations

2011-10-17T13:23:00.000-05:00

Ingrid’s blog:

In my mind, a successful negotiation is not where one side has pulverized the other. You don't "win" a negotiation; you get the best possible outcome for your clients while doing the least harm. No one should leave a negotiation angry. After all, you never know when you might have to negotiate with the same people again. When it comes to negotiating on behalf of my clients, I keep the following in mind:

Set the stage: I like a location that's quiet, neutral, pleasant, and away from distractions and confusion. It’s best if everyone turns off their devices, and refrains from calls or texts during negotiations.

Be prepared: I never enter without my homework. I verify any outstanding facts before the negotiation begins. (Later fact-finding can cause a negotiation to bog down!)

Present a united front: I represent clients and have been hired to act on their wishes. At times I may not agree with their position, but I never share that with the other side. If I feel a client’s position is less than optimal, I only discuss it with them in private

Leave attitudes at the door: It’s very simple... treat everyone in the negotiation with respect, regardless of personal opinions. If anyone disagrees, disagree with the idea, not the person.

Watch non-verbal cues and body language: (Sorry, but I can’t reveal all of my secrets here... suffice it to say I take it all in!)

Hold something in reserve: I discuss concessions with my clients before hand and only offer these concessions when we absolutely need to concede something.

I don't harp about points that don't matter to my clients: Negotiations should never choke over a minor point. I like to get agreement on major points such as price and terms and put lesser items aside to return to later.

Never volunteer too much information: Knowledge is power in a negotiation. Telling the other side any information, however insignificant seeming, could weaken my clients’ position. On the other hand, I learn as much about the other side as I can.
