Curb Appeal: Your Lush Yard

Last time we spoke of ways to improve your Curb Appeal, and yet we so barely touched on Yards that I felt taht it deserved its own blog. So here we are, getting ready to help our yard. Here are a couple of things you can do to help your yard and curb appeal:

1) Design It Right

Look at the yard you are working with and optimize it for its existing curves. Focus on areas where you see lots of lights and rain gather for plants and avoiding wind.

2) Amend Your Soil

If you want healthy plants, you have to start with healthy soil. Be sure to use compost to help your soil retain water absorption and help in warm weather.

3) Group Plants Together

Based on the plants you have/want, and their needs, group plants accordingly to help give them and your yard the best chance of shining.

4) Incorporate Native Plants

There is a massive movement towards minimizing water use, and a great way to do that is to use plants that are native to the area and are used to conditions such as rain fall, etc.

5) Water Early In The Morning

It is harder for plants to absorb water later in the day when the sun is beaming hot on them. Give them their best chance by watering in the morning so that they can absorb as much as possible.

6) Fertilize Lawn

Fertilizing your lawn before you water helps it to be nice and green and healthy. Many people look at a healthy yard and are happy to maintain it, and not have to work to get it healthy.

Need a personal evaluation of your curb appeal? Give me a call and I will be happy to assist! Happy Gardening!

Real Estate Investments: Invest Up

I want to speak briefly to the masses today. Normally our audience is the Buyer and Seller, and yet it is easy enough for anyone to become both. It could even happen that you are a Buyer, Seller, and Investor at the same time! How can this be? Me, a normal person can be a Investor? Yes. Even more than that, as soon as you start your journey you start doing something greater than yourself, building generational wealth. Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start. This beginning looks like a house purchase. That would be because it is a house purchase. Assuming you are buying this house to rent out, you are now a Landlord and Investor. The first house is going to be the scariest, it gets easier from there. Let's assume you have rented out the house for a couple of years and you are looking to upgrade from a Single Family Residence to a Duplex. You would sell your Single Family Residence and 1031 the proceeds of the sale into the purchase of the duplex. Yo...

Why Real Estate is Such a Good (Great) Investment: Part 5-(Can we) Build it (yes we can!)

This is the next installment of a 7 part series exploring ideas of why real estate is such a good investment. The focus will be on single family and multifamily real estate, but a good idea is a good idea, enjoy.  Building is a straightforward way to add value. There are really two classifications of it. Either remodeling or constructing. In terms of remodeling, as mentioned in a prior post, it is important to find a 'quarterback' that knows what and who to ask. Improvements should be thought of in terms of how much value it will bring, it has been said that kitchen and bathrooms are the highest return on investment. https://www.remodeling.hw.net   has a very good annual report ( linked here for Los Angeles, see last page ), some highlights is that a MINOR kitchen remodel returns 105% of the money put in. Other things include the expected, Grand Entrance (108.1%), Garage Door (123.8%) and perhaps unexpected, Deck Addition, wood (98.8%), Windows, double pane (102.6%)New ...

Why Real Estate is Such a Good (Great) Investment: Part 3-Sell it

This is the next installment of a 7 part series exploring ideas of why real estate is such a good investment. The focus will be on single family and multifamily real estate, but a good idea is a good idea, enjoy.  Alas, today we will be discussing the main thing people think about when they think about real estate investing, selling the asset high after buying low. The biggest advantage to selling real estate is the value added you can do yourself. There is no requirement to hire anyone to do any repairs on the property, as real estate is sold as is. You can do your own marketing, your own negotiating, there does not have to be anyone between you and the market unless you choose for there to be. You choose your partners at terms you both agree with. With that great power, comes great responsibility. Though you can do it yourself, it is more advisable to partner with those who do it every day, rather than every so often. Consider that a real estate transaction employs a...
