Most of us have made real estate investments through buying traditional single family homes. Others have taken the next step in real estate investment by purchasing apartment buildings or other multi-family properties. Owning such is not the same as owning a home.  Professional advice is a must before you decide on buying apartment buildings. Consider the location of the building. This is a primary factor. Buildings situated in good neighborhoods appreciate faster than those in less favored communities. In Tri Cities Washington, you may find apartment buildings for sale that are properly maintained, accessible to schools, safe and secure, and come with terrific amenities. Call us now and explore your choices. Originally posted at buildings for sale.

At it's last meeting, the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank agreed on two important decisions directly related to the domestic home sales market. First they decided to leave the current prime rate where it is at 0.25%, which is as close to zero as you can get. Then they decided to begin buying up mortgage backed securities. Those are those investment packages of home mortgages that you have heard so much about in recent times on the news. By taking mortgage backed securities off the sluggish market, it is predicted that banks will begin lending again to fill the demand for new mortgage backed securities that will be created.

The Washington State Department of Fish and Game recently reported that they estimate that up to 300,000 Chinook salmon will make the run up the Columbia river, which borders the town of Kennewick this season. That’s the third highest number on record! This of course is great news for local sportsmen “and women” who look forward to the salmon fishing season that runs for 45 days during the months of March and April. If you have never felt the rush you get from landing a big salmon from the bank of a river then now is the time to get your line wet! Originally posted at Salmon Fishing

In a recent interview on 60 Minutes, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Vernanky made it clear just how they plan on recouping the one trillion dollars that was used in recent bank bailouts. The Fed is going to do it by jacking the rates back up as soon as a recovery becomes evident. What this means to you if you have had your eye on a home in todays buyers market, is that waiting too long to lock in a deal may be a mistake that you will live to regret. Sure loans are harder to get now but you will never see interests rates this low again in your lifetime. Originally posted at Interest Rates.

Puzzled over how to make man and beast coexist in one space? Follow there tips and be assured that the barking will stop – from both sides. For easy cleaning up after your pet, choose unglazed ceramic tiles for your flooring. Best of all, your furry friends will have a cool place to nap on. Stay away from silk that can snag, and especially velvet, which traps doggy hair. Take inspiration from your pet when choosing the colors for your home. This might seem a bit extreme, but you’ be happy to not notice the hair your pet leaves behind. Carpets are the worst enemies of any homeowner with pets. They absorb odor and trap pet hair.

Eco friendly homes are starting to pick up steam. A lot of people are shifting to a greener kind of lifestyle and Hollywood is no exemption. More and more stars are turning their green filled pockets into green friendly houses. Take Johnny Depp, in 2005, the star converted his Bahamas island home to run on solar hydrogen technology. Depp's eco enlightenment may have rubbed off on his "Pirates of the Caribbean" costar Orlando Bloom. In 2007, Bloom built an enviro-friendly house in London. "It's as green as I can make it," Bloom said on green design website Inhabitat. "It's got solar panels on the roof, energy efficient light bulbs-newer technology basically that is environmentally friendly." Only last year, Leonardo Dicaprio bought an eco-friendly condominium. The said condo has a 24-hou...

Yet another opportunity for steady Tri Cities employment opportunities, as the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has chosen Lockheed Martin, among 15 other companies, to compete for tasks to find methods to reduce energy costs. The DOE will give various indefinite-delivery-indefinite-quantity tasks to any one of the 16 companies, such as Lockheed Martin, who will compete to reduce energy costs as well as the environmental impact. These various tasks will have a overall ceiling value of $80 billion during this 11-year project. This position places Lockheed Martin as one of the 16 companies in control of a specific task where they will carry out an energy audit in order to find ways that will save energy in a given facility. Once the audit was complete Lockheed Martin would then organize a ...

The Tri-Cities of Kennewick, Richland, and Pasco are a great place to live for a variety of people who are looking to save a little money, to include our Military. Recently the ACCRA Cost of Living Index named Tri-Cities Washington number 1 out of 350 communities as the least expensive place to live in the Pacific Northwest. The index has given the Tri-Cities an index rating of 88.9 during the third quarter; down from 89.9 in the second quarter. The low cost of groceries and housing is partly to thank for the low cost of living in the Tri-Cities. Communities ranking the closest to the Tri-Cities are Spokane with an index rating of 93.5; Portland at 95.1; and Boise with a rating of 96.0. •:*¨¨*:• Colleen Lane •:*¨¨*:•My ActiveRain Blog / My Localism Blog | ColleenLane.comI am the Realtor...

Tips to help you find a local child care provider and or babysitter. You've found your new dream home, you love the new neighborhood and the area is perfect.  If you are a homebuyer with children, you will probably have a need for a childcare provider for your young child if you work out of the home during the day, and before or after school care for your elementary school aged children. This is one of the first things that you have to think about after settling in to your new home. In our Tri-Cities, Washington community (Kennewick, Pasco and Richland) and surrounding areas, there is quite a large selection of childcare providers to choose from.  I have listed a few providers that I have used in the past with my children as well as others that I have heard good things about.  My younge...

You've bought your dream home ~ time to start packing, but don't forget about helping your kids adjust!  If you have children, this new move may bring about many different feelings - some are scared, some are excited, some may even be angry.  These are just a few of the feelings kids have about moving.  A move isn't easy for anyone, even for adults.  Moving for children can be a time for some great new things - like a new room or a new place to explore - it can also be a time that's sad and stressful, too.  Here are some ways to make a move a little easier. Talk, Talk, Talk! Tell your children immediately about the move.  Be honest, tell them why - whether it is because of a new job or to be closer to Grandpa and Grandma.  Be positive and enthusiastic and your children will feel that fr...
