The Importance Of Location

January 31st, 2008 by admin

If you’re just looking for a comfortable home in a decent neighborhood and intending to remain in this home for a long time, location may not be on top of your list of concerns. But if resale value is your priority then you have to think “location, location, location”. It’s that important.

The rule is to buy a house that will appeal to the largest number of future potential buyers. This requires you to make a number of different “location” choices. Which community? Your choice should be narrowed to only a few local communities. You want to buy in a community with a viable and stable economy and a good mixture of commercial and business district. So when you want to sell your house, you can have a reasonable expectation that your community will still be a desirable place to live in. You should also look into the local crime statistics.

Pay close attention to the local schooling system even if you don’t have school-age children or do not intend to have children because many potential buyers often have this concern. Also, property tax in one town maybe higher than others. Usually, potential buyers will choose not to buy a house in the community with higher taxes but it’s not always the case because you will often find that the “cost per square foot” is lower in towns with higher taxes. Meaning, you can buy a bigger house for less money so the mortgage payment plus taxes could result in approximately the same monthly housing costs.

By keeping the above factors in mind before buying, your new home can become a great investment.

Becoming Rich in Your Own Way

January 30th, 2008 by admin

If you really want to become rich, then begin by evaluating your work habits and work environment. That’s how most millionaires made their first million. According to Dr. Srully Blotnick, a psychologist and consultant who spent 20 years studying how people became rich, most millionaires didn’t make their money in real estate, the stock market, or waiting for their ship to come in.

They made theirs, instead, through their business or profession. They became so good at their job that they made quite a bit of money. Then, and only then, did they turn to real estate and stocks as sites to invest and grow their money. Even then, their basic business continued to produce the bulk of their gains; their investments usually produced only mediocre results by comparison.

There’s a monumentally important lesson to be learned from the hundreds of millionaires that Dr. Blotnick studied for 20 years. The lesson is this: If you really want to become rich, invest in yourself first; invest in real estate, stocks, and other ventures later. Dr. Blotnick divided this into two stages:

Whatever your taste in real estate you can find what you want at a price you can afford somewhere in or around Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

Nestled in amongst the pine trees, the running streams, and small lakes you’ll find a small town of unequaled charm with everything you’d need to live a full life. Housing developments are kept to a minimum to preserve the environment but there are plenty of choices available. There are small housing tracts with lovely houses that face the mountains, with streams running through them and with prices that definitely make them affordable whether you are looking to relocate to the area full time or if you’re simply looking to buy that second home, that vacation palace in the mountains to enjoy your summers and your winter vacations. From small homes on easily maintainable pieces of property, to condominiums with common pools and other amenities, to functional cabins in the woods, it’s all available.
