Title: How to personalize your New Home Greensboro

As a new home builder in Greensboro NC I have learned that new buyers are always looking for ways to personalize their new home and make it as unique to them as possible. First time new home buyers usually don’t have the budget to add a lot of expensive amenities and I’ve come up with some ways where they can personalize their new home with spending a lot of additional money.

One of the easiest ways to get the “expensive feeling” without a lot of additional cost is to spend a little more and get upgraded kitchen appliances. Once you factor in the base cost the upgraded costs are that much more but can make a world of difference in the look and fell of your new home especially here in the Greensboro NC area.

If you’re thinking of building a new home in the Greensboro area and would like some tips on how you can s-t-r-e-t-c-h you home building dollars contact us at Master Homes at MyNCHomebuilder.net/contact or just call us at 336-906-4858

Fair Housing Accessibility Requirements for New Home Builders Greensboro

October 27th, 2009 admin No comments
In order to be in compliance with the Fair Housing Act, there are seven basic design and construction requirements that must be met.  These requirements are:

Requirement 1. An accessible building entrance on an accessible route.
All covered multifamily dwellings must have at least one building entrance on an accessible route unless it is impractical to do so because of the terrain or unusual characteristics of the site. 

  • An accessible route means a continuous, unobstructed path connecting accessible elements and spaces within a building or site that can be negotiated by a person with a disability who uses a wheelchair, and that is also safe for and usable by people with other disabilities.

  • An accessible entrance is a building entrance connected by an accessible route to public transit stops, accessible parking and passenger loading zones, or public streets and sidewalks.

Requirement 2. Accessible common and public use areas.
Covered housing must have accessible and usable public and common-use areas. Public and common-use areas cover all parts of the housing outside individual units. They include — for example — building-wide fire alarms, parking lots, storage areas, indoor and outdoor recreational areas, lobbies, mailrooms and mailboxes, and laundry areas.

Requirement 3. Usable doors (usable by a person in a wheelchair).
All doors that allow passage into and within all premises must be wide enough to allow passage by persons using wheelchairs.

Requirement 4. Accessible route into and through the dwelling unit.
There must be an accessible route into and through each covered unit.

Requirement 5. Light switches, electrical outlets, thermostats and other environmental controls in accessible locations.
Light switches, electrical outlets, thermostats and other environmental controls must be in accessible locations.

Requirement 6. Reinforced walls in bathrooms for later installation of grab bars.
Reinforcements in bathroom walls must be installed, so that grab bars can be added when needed. The law does not require installation of grab bars in bathrooms.

Requirement 7. Usable kitchens and bathrooms.
Kitchens and bathrooms must be usable – that is, designed and constructed so an individual in a wheelchair can maneuver in the space provided.

Real Estate Investing by New Home Builders Greensboro: Master Homes

5 tricks to make it big with real estate investing, actually there are 6 ways to make in Real Estate Investing today. The Sixth way in today’s market is Home Foreclosures.

 Real estate investing is one of the most attractive ways of making good money (that is if you do it correct). Moreover, real estate investing is also a lot of fun. A lot of people practice real estate investing as their core profession and, in fact, make a lot of money that way.

 Real estate investing is really an art and, like any art, it takes time to master the art of real estate investing. The key, of course, is to buy at a lower price and sell at higher price and make a profit even after paying all the costs involved in the two (buy/sell) transactions. Generally, people are of the opinion that real estate investing makes sense only when the rates are on the rise. However, real estate investing for profits is possible just about any time (and as I just said, real estate investing is an art). Here is a list of tricks that can make real estate investing profitable for you especially if you want to increase the value of your new homes Greensboro:

1)    Look for public auctions, divorce settlements and foreclosures (bank/FHA/VA): Since quick settlement is the preference here (and not price), you might get a property at a price that is much lower than the prevailing market rate. You can then make arrangements to sell it at the market rate over a short period of time. However, make sure that the property is worth the price you are paying.

2)    Looking for old listings: The old listings that are still unsold may provide you with good real estate investing opportunities. Just get hold of an old newspaper and call up the sellers. They might have given up hope of selling that property at all and with a bit of negotiation you can get the property for a real low price.

3)    The hidden treasure: A really old (and dirty) looking house may scare off buyers. But this might be your chance for real estate investing that can yield good profits. So, explore such properties and check if spending a bit on them can make them shine. You can get these at very low prices and make a big profit in a short time.

4)    Team up with attorneys: There are a number of attorneys who handle property sales on behalf of sellers or in special circumstances (like the death of the property owner). They might sometimes be looking to dispose off the property rather quickly and hence at a low price. Be the first one to grab such real estate investing opportunities and enjoy the profits.

5)    Keep tab on the newspaper announcements: Property sell offs due to deaths, divorce settlements, immediate cash requirements and other reason are frequently announced in local papers. Keep track of such real estate investing avenues.

How to personalize your New Home: Kitchen Appliances

As a new home builder in Greensboro NC I have learned that new buyers are always looking for ways to personalize their new home and make it as unique to them as possible. First time new home buyers usually don’t have the budget to add a lot of expensive amenities and I’ve come up with some ways where they can personalize their new home without spending a lot of additional money.

One of the easiest ways to get the “expensive feeling” without a lot of additional cost is to spend a little more and get upgraded kitchen appliances. Once you factor in the base cost the upgraded costs are not that much more but can make a world of difference in the look and fell of your new home especially here in the Greensboro NC area.

 

You do not have to go total high end. For example if you appliances are painted upgrade to the base level stainless steel appliances or if you have stainless already upgrade one or more key appliances like the microwave, cook-top, range or refrigerator to make the upgrade happen.

 

Remember to keep in line with the prices of your neighborhood and get some free advise from your Realtor or Mortgage Banker before making your final decision especially if you are getting ready to list with a homes for sale Greensboro company.
