Bathroom Home Depot

December

Seems like we scratch our heads and wonder how to get buy most the time. We were able to get through the holidays with a little luck from our web page, relatives and friends.  Thank you all for trusting our abilities to perform and get the job done.

Not to far in the past we installed an IKEA bath, so it was fun doing a guest bath with products from the EXPO. This is an upscale part of Home Depot. ( It appears they may be actually closing this store.) Call or click the Expo link to find out about all the sales : 480 538-2460

The customers created the design and painted the miror and medicine cabinet with gloss black enamel with gold high-lights. We installed  the new marble topped vanity, vessel sink and Pegasus bamboo style faucet. Also not shown we replaced the shower faucet and shower head with matching Pegasus hardware.

The job also consisted of sheet rock repair, paint and new paper and towel holders.

Porches

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Working in the Office today. Although we are open 24/7 @ Officeopen.com . Just leave an email and Jacob or Jerry will contact you to answer any questions. You can also call us.

Our family lives in New River (a small city in Arizona), and operates a remodeling company. Now that the price of housing has moved up, allot of families are expanding the homes they’re in.

Many of the older homes we seen have less than perfect porches. Personally, one of our favorite pastimes is sitting outside in the shade, and enjoying the great mountain and or desert landscaped views. Living in Arizona allows plenty of opportunity for this outdoor living but you have to have a great area to enjoy it all from! Below are a few pictures of some of the porches we have built for clients. If your porch needs some work we can help you!

Investing Arizona

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Two years ago you couldn’t go wrong !  That is what most people thought. Now that the market has crashed a lot of want to be investors have lost their shirts or are losing them. Being in the Real Estate field has helped me scratch my way up little by little. When you start with nothing is when you call it scratching.

The smartest investors are the ones that listen and act on good advice. You must also be able to carry your investments. Unless the market is on fire and you are in the up swing, should you take a risk without the were-withal to carry the investment for awhile.

My highest earning client started with 150K land investment, a 25% down-payment. Taking my advice rolled in and out of properties for three years. He now is holding properties valued at over  3.5 million. We sold enough to purchase others and hold the balance.   He listened and acted on the right suggestions.

When your a scratcher, like myself you need good ideas. Then you need a good client that will give you time to share with them your knowledge. If they trust you and act, not only will they benefit greatly. You will compile a little more for your self.

Lots of investors are out buying houses that have come up for auction or have dramatically dropped in value. With tenants the holding cost are easier to handle. You just have to become a landlord. Houses will rebound, but I believe at a slower pace. Probably 2% per year. This is what it has been historically.

I have never been a huge fan of auctions due to the following reasons. The auctions have a reserve just like on eBay. So if you win the auction and your bid is lower than the reserve you have to match it. There is also a fee usually 5% for the auction house. Then on top of that. Most of the homes are in less that top condition. This means repair cost to bring the property up to rent-able condition. After you add up the total cost you could have hooked up with a licensed Real Estate Agent. Who knows how to find great properties in good condition for the same price if not less.

This  follows the same rules mentioned above. You don’t need to beat the bushes looking for that steal. Their are professionals that can lead you to the right properties. With  good common sense you can analyze what they have to share with you. Act and you will benefit!
