What are the Traps and Other Remodeling Pitfalls?  If you’re thinking about a home remodeling, let’s chat first.What is it about a home remodeling project that makes us want to stand in the doorway watching every minute of the progress unfold?Sure, it’s fascinating—as certified residential Forever AgentSM Remodeling Advisors and HGTV enthusiasts, we get it—but staring at your construction crew is not going to make the work go faster. If anything, it’s just going to slow things down, and potentially put you in harm’s way.Another common mistake we see homeowners make during a remodeling is falling into the dreaded “while you’re at it” trap. Remember: Your contractor’s scope of work was well defined before construction began. Any “while you’re at it” addendums will only complicate the proj...

Choose the Right Size For Your Next HomeIt’s not just inflation that’s driving up house prices—we are also seeking larger homes, which of course affects what you pay for a property.Homebuyers are feeling the sticker shock of higher prices, but it’s not just inflation. They want bigger homes. In 1949, the average size of a new single-family home was 909 square feet, while homes grew to 2,480 square feet by 2021. Homebuyers want more than they had before, including more space, energy-efficient appliances, and smart home technologies, all of which is making homes more expensive. But how much living space does a family really need? According to the National Association of REALTORS®, a typical home purchased recently is 1,800 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms and was built in...

What Is the One Percent RuleLooking for a formula that helps assure success in property investment? Then look no further than the 1% rule. Find out all about it in this latest #GTK post.Who wants to make an investment that doesn’t yield a return? Certainly not real estate investors. They have formulas to assure their success as much as possible. One favorite is the one percent rule.Rocketmortgage.com explains that the one percent rule “measures the price of the investment property against the gross income it will generate.” That means that an investment must generate at least 1% or more in rental income based on the original purchase price. The rule continues as the investment property appreciates in value, which means the potential for profit in the form of higher rent is even greater....

Consider Home ConcessionsIf you find the perfect-buyer except they may be a little short on the money required to secure the home, there are several seller concessions available that allow you to contriubute a portion of the buyer's closing costs or other fees. This can help speed up the home selling process and ensure that your property is sold to the right buyer.Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate, Best Auburn Realtors, Best Opelika Realtors, Relocate to Auburn, Move to Auburn, Homes for sale in Auburn, Homes for Sale near me, Houses for Sale Opelika, Luxury Homes for Sale Auburn, New Construction Auburn, New Construction Opelikawww.AuburnOpelikaALRealEstate
