Making Up a Mud Room: if you’ve got it, flaunt it; if you don’t, fake it!

There's a hot new room that is high on buyer's want lists--the mud room! A mud room is a "catch-all" entry room that is very functional and can be decorated to the nines, too! Sometimes mud rooms are closed off and are separate rooms and sometimes they make a "room" out of previously dead space (like a hallway, walkway or entryway). Many houses have an existing space that could be converted to the "mud room" aesthetic. In an existing house, finding an unused space to transform into a mudroom is the most cost-effective way to get this look (and not have to remodel!). If you don't have one (and unless you've got a fairly new home or are really lucky), Make One Up!

Building Wealth with Real Estate Part I: Flip Houses

It’s not a secret by any means--to build wealth, acquire real estate. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as easy money and real estate is not a get rich quick scheme. Real estate is a time-tested method of building wealth. As with any investment, there is risk. However, smart real estate investing is one of the least risky investments you can make, and it can pay off big time.

The Ups of Going Down for Baby Boomers: Downsizing for Retirement Living

For many Americans, especially the Baby Boomer generation, retirement is either here or just on the horizon. The first of the Boomer generation to hit retirement age was in 2011 and according to the National Association of REALTORS®, the population of baby boomers entering retirement is projected to be 10,000 people a day, for at least the next two decades! I don’t know about you, but my mind is officially blown. This is the largest mass retirement in the country’s history. So, what does it mean for the Boomers? The Boomers are a generation unlike any who came before them and we are in the midst of an unprecedented housing shift.

Luckily in Texas, we do not have to deal with basements and some other cold weather home issues that our Yankee neighbors have to face. However, there are some things that need to be addressed to prevent more expensive issues later on. Preventative maintenance=Cheaper Maintenance! (and who doesn't love cheaper!?)
